'Concluding the exclusive Fèis Ìle duo is Port Charlotte Rock'ndaal 02.2. This remarkable expression is matured in a combination of refilled wine casks and sherry butts, allowing the rich influences of the wood and the wine to shape its character. Furthermore, its 16-year all-Islay maturation period imparts a profound depth to the versatile Port Charlotte liquid'.
In classic Australian style, this whisky has absolutely rippled flavour out of its cask. However, while I was expecting spiky youth in the spirit and the abv, it drinks with a maturity and ease that belies these facts. I have since bought two bottles. Absolutely delicious and as good, if not better, than it’s Scotch peers
