Port Charlotte Islay Barley 2012This high provenance, heavily peated single malt was distilled from Islay grown barley in 2012. A total of eight Islay farms came together to harvest the 2011 crop for Port Charlotte over a tempestuous summer. Each farmer had worked with us before, in Hunter Jackson, Ian Torrance, Ian MacKerrel, Raymond Fletcher, Mark French, Alistair Torrance, Raymond Stewart with father and son team Donald and Andrew Jones. Our communitys commitment to Islay is

our single malt is an American reinterpretation of traditional Scottish and Irish whiskies

Think a bourbon heart can't hold a single malt soul

A raisin sweetness checks the smoke

The result is an intriguing new character that is still unmistakably Crown Royal
