Whisky review: Port Charlotte ''the Peat project'' bottled at 46%

Whisky review: Port Charlotte ''the Peat project'' bottled at 46%

-40ppm
-No colouring
-Not chill-filtered
-Says ''heavily peated"" but can't be compared to the Peat Smoke at 53ppm

Colour: golden, bright. No colouring here.

Nose: hard to grasp, not easy to ''discover'' at first. salt notes, sherry spices, light smoke, bitter notes, distant peat

Mouth: peat, light peat, vegetal, pepper, salt water, bitter caramel, very nice , lingering sweetness and peat. chewy bitter notes, with pepper and then salt water, surrounded by peat...a very gentle one.

Finish: lingering light and soft peat, touches of salt, caramel, brine, soft and gentle. Exquisite.

A for the taste. Could be more peated but it creates a nice balance between vegetal and peat followed by pepper.
A+ for presentation. Nice bottling
B for the price. Unexpected events rendered this bottle to 86$. It's ok. However, considering it's NAS, it's too pricey. Regardless, this is not available at SAQ not LCBO for the time being.
