Bruichladdich Port Charlotte SYC: 01 2013

Port Charlotte SYC:01 2013 is a remarkable release from Bruichladdich, pushing the boundaries of Islay single malt by finishing its heavily peated whisky in Syrah casks for the first time. Distilled entirely on Islay using 100% Scottish barley and matured for ten years, this expression captures the essence of its origin—both land and spirit shaped by wind, salt, and time. Bottled at a robust 54.4% ABV, SYC:01 is non-chill filtered, naturally colored, and showcases the raw influence of its island home and the Syrah casks sourced from a biodynamic French wine producer.

The nose opens with caramel and soft peat smoke, unfolding into ripe strawberry, red apple, and apricot jam, all elevated by the wine cask’s deep fruit character. Subtle oak, honey, ginger, and toasted spices follow, layered with bonfire smoke and marzipan. On the palate, smoky char and sweet red fruit dance together—brown sugar, mango, candied citrus, and bubblegum meet roasted coffee, lavender, and a whisper of brine. It’s a vivid and balanced experience that evolves beautifully with a splash of water.

The finish is long and layered, with soft peat trailing behind creamy notes of cocoa, toasted Brazil nuts, and sea spray. Port Charlotte SYC:01 doesn’t just honor terroir—it embodies it, proving that peated whisky and red wine can create harmony when their origins and philosophies are in sync. Best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open its complexity, this is an unforgettable dram for lovers of bold, fruit-forward, smoky single malts.
