Nice start Wade, lighting and sound is sharp and clear, nice quiet mood music, and the animations and sceneries to support your descriptions are very good. It will be fun to see your progression in your presentations. Looking forward to it. Great first video in your series, you did your homework.
Just tried Port Charlotte 10 for the first time. Agree with the honeyed notes you mentioned. The peat is obvious but not obscuring the tropical fruit sweetness, marmalade character.
It's not Islay peat. The peat used on PC10 is "highland" peat, harvested in Aberdeenshire and shipped across the country to make the PC10. In my estimation, this makes it far better than the TALLL kids.
I don't think Bruichladdich has malting/peating facilities (yet), so it is not the Highlands "peat" that gets shipped to Islay, but rather the peated "malted barley" (using Highlands peat, of course). Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Ice is an ok idea for heavily peated whiskey for novices or new to peated whiskey drinkers. But one big round ice or one big rock is better. Doesn’t melt as quick as many smaller cubes ( too much water). The first taste is close to straight , but as the ice slowly melts and hence adds a little water the nose and taste develop and change. Those drinkers can find out how much water to add etc. But as an experienced whiskey drinker now, it is easier to appreciate the whiskey without ice. You will enjoy it more. Try adding a little water. Maybe half teaspoon or quarter at a time. Crep it up to your taste. Help the whiskey develop and enjoy
PC 10 is my absolute favorite entry level peated whisky. Nice review! Cheers!
Thanks Pedro! It's delicious isn't it?! Great whisky for a great price 😊

Thank you so much Michael, I'm loving making these videos and improving my whisky knowledge and presentation along the way 🥃

It's lovely stuff isn't it!
It is an absolutely fantastic dram. Highly recommend
How good is it!!
My absolute favorite peated Islay whisky at this moment in time.
It’s hard to go past this one! Incredible whisky, incredible value.
Port Charlotte and Kilchoman Machir Bay are my go toos, thanks for the great review 😊
Those are great whiskies! Thanks mate, this was my very first review 😁
Still enjoy it
Delicious! Just bought a new Laphroaig Cairdeas 2024!! Love it!! 😊
I have to record my review of the Cairdeas 2024 very soon!
@@McIntyresMalts Exciting!! 🙂
Just ordered this whisky,as so many great reviews,it must be great!😍🥃
If you like peat, you won’t be disappointed
This & Ledaig 10 are my 2 go to Islay whiskies for my palate, really great offerings outside of the Laphroaig & Ardbeg fan club.
Ledaig and Port Charlotte are SO GOOD! Fantastic whiskies
My favourite 10yo peated.. Bruichladdich excelled.
Yeah it’s incredible isn’t it!
PC 10 for the win!!! 😁👍👍
How good is it?! Hard to beat in this price range, punches well above its weight.
@10:22 you could say that you're picking up on the *elements of Islay* 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I'll see myself out
😂😂😂👏🏼

Interesting! Thanks for sharing your knowledge Kelly 🥃😊

PC10 is a great drink i really enjoy the flavors but I was expecting a bit more peat from it tho.
You can definitely step it up into the Octomore range from Bruichladdich if you want more peat!
70 USD in the State of Virginia, as of late July 2024.
Conversion is pretty much equal to what we pay in Australia
Couple cubes of ice is amazing with this dram.
🧊🧊 Enjoy!
Noo not the ice
