Port Charlotte PC7 7 year old (Cask #1215), 63.4%

Price: $120 Issue: Summer 2011 Reviewer: John Hansell

A single cask from the distillery's peated “Port Charlotte” line of whiskies. Well behaved for such youth. Nice honeyed malt and soft caramel base with good viscosity as a bed for tarry peat, licorice stick, freshly-ground pepper, and cocoa, along with a kiss of sauternes, delicate pit fruit, smoked seaweed, and a lingering coastal accent. Long, warming finish. (Park Avenue Liquor exclusive)
