Notes
Port Ellen enjoys a somewhat cult status amongst whisky fans who favour a peated style. This is one of the last distillations before the distillery was mothballed in 1983, bottled by flag-bearers for the whisky industry, Gordon & Macphail. With the distillery expected to be operational again some time in 2020, these old bottlings will provide fascinating insight into how the new liquid measures up!
Distillery Note:
Nose: Peaty with some citrus notes.
Palate: Delicate ash and fruity, with balanced body.
Finish: Peat smoke with a spicy edge.

Barley sugars, salted caramel, blanched almond and dried apricots on the nose. Initial delicate sweetness on the palate gives way to creamy cereal – Special K topped with granola! – and a drying finish.

Coconut, buttered toast, resinous wood, dried apricot, sweet hay. Then more dried fruit, orange zest, honey, vanilla and a sappy green note to the finish.

Bacon straight away, but that then fades and gives way to warm bonfire, sweet tobacco and just a note of rubber. With more time in the glass treacle, cereal and pleasant soapiness. The palate is lead by sweet fruit and honey, then peppery heat, and an oily, woodsmoke finish. A complex and evolving whisky.
