Distilled from heavily peated (40ppm) Scottish Barley at Bruichladdich Distillery, then aged just along the coast at Port Charlotte in the buildings that remain from the long-defunct distillery, before returning to Bruichladdich for bottling.
The first release of Port Charlote by Bruichladdich was in 2006 and was known as PC5, a reference to its being aged in Port Charlotte for five years. Subsequent releases saw a PC6 in 2007, PC7 in 2008, PC8 in 2009 etc.
