	MATURING: First maturation from 2013 to 2018: first-fill (75%) and second-fill Bourbon barrels (25%), further maturation for 4 years in first-fill Syrah wine barrels, marriage in refill Bourbon barrels for marrying.
	TASTE: Aroma: The nose immediately reveals the sweetness of caramel, followed by a mix of fresh fruit and a subtle hint of peat smoke. Notes of strawberries, red apples, apricot jam and mixed berries from the Syrah casks come to the fore, underpinned by a combination of oak and lingering smoke. Gentle spices from the oak together with ginger, marzipan and honey complement the fruity character, which is further enhanced by the oak smoked over the fire. Taste: Toasted oak and elegant barbecue smoke envelop the palate, beautifully balanced with sweet fruit. Vibrant notes of candied peel, fresh mango, brown sugar and sweet chewing gum add lightness and complexity that cut through the smoke. A drop of water brings out the aromatic oak, while lavender and herbal notes combine with gentle honey, ground ginger and roasted coffee beans. Finish: While the sweetness of fruit and oak remains, a gentle wave of peat smoke is unmistakable on the finish. Roasted Brazil nuts, coconut and cocoa powder lend a delicate creaminess, while a hint of dried seaweed lingers.

Product description

For the first time in the Cask Exploration series, the maturation of the Port Charlotte SYC: 01 Single Malt Whisky took place predominantly in Syrah casks. The French producer, who shares Bruichladdich's philosophy and passion for terroir, has specialised in the production of organic and biodynamic wines. Soil and climate play a decisive role in the production process. Thanks to minimal intervention, the different regions and soils can develop their authentic character. This results in wines that - similar to the Islay Single Malts from Port Charlotte - offer a true expression of their terroir. The Syrah, a red wine with a strong and full body, has given the SYC:01 Heavily Peated intense flavours of red fruits and spicy nuances that wonderfully complement the characteristic aromatic peat smoke of Port Charlotte.
