Official Tasting Notes
Nose: The smoke is calmed by the marine, ozone character,?time has brought a balance, a harmony in the combination of oak, smoke and spirit. While the smoke is always discernible on the nose it is dry, earthy, peatash in its style and so allows the oak to come forward with waves of golden caramel, fudge, vanilla custard, hints of ginger, nutmeg and clove. There is citrus fruit, coaxed from the glass with a drop of water, gentle lemon meringue and clementine. Breathe deeply and the floral aromas of wild thyme, heather and sea pink bring you to this Atlantic coast.
Palate: On the palate there is a noticeable delicacy and softness in texture and style. Again, the balance of flavour is superb as the smoke wraps loosely around the sweetness drawn from deep within the oak. Coconut, vanilla custard, lemon honey combines with smoked oysters and sun baked salty sand.
Finish: The finish is sublime, smoky sure, but also the soft sweetness of fudge and malted barley, orange, mango and Banoffee pie hinting of the depth and quality of the oak. The many layers interchange on each sip. As the smoke comes and goes so too the notes of the spirit, ripe apple and apricot, beautifully intertwined with malt and oak sweetness and that typical Port Charlotte style dry smoke.
Character: Ageing for 10 years on the shores of Loch Indaal has had a profound effect on this spirit. Like sunshine on a winters day, this Port Charlotte 10 brings clarity and lightens the mood, welcoming and brightening the future.
布萊迪首支波夏單一純麥蘇格蘭威士忌於2001年釀製，而自2006年起，每年都會推出波夏限量瓶－如PC5、6、7等，只為向品味出眾的威士忌專業行家們，分享這款獨特艾雷島珍品的迷人進化。
此款優雅醇釀生產自酒廠著名的直式蒸餾器，以及艾雷島當地多年來名聞遐邇的重泥煤風味。
如今，酒廠第一次以非限量發行的形式推出波夏系列，很榮幸能將這支商品囊括於品牌主力酒種之中。這支十年窖藏從今以後將常駐左右－保留了重泥煤的強勁與氣度，並完美融入布萊迪的經典、優雅與工藝；沉潛蘊就於艾雷島十年光景，卓爾不群。
香氣:一開始聞到的是清新的芬芳：薑餅、覆盆子、香草。接著隱藏的煙燻味隨著丁香味隨之顯現，卻不會壓過一股和緩的香味，那是罐裝桃子浸泡在紅蘋果及黑莓糖漿的甜美。在清新的泥煤煙燻味暈染下，迸發而出焦糖、蜂巢太妃糖、消化餅和檸檬的層次。
口感:香草和烤麥芽麵包的香甜橡木被包裹在石南花煙燻味裡，散發出伴著沼澤香桃木和歐洲蕨的泥煤藥香，讓人想起夏天的泥煤沼澤。
餘韻:綿長帶有煙燻味。
產地：Scotland,Islay
