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.

Salty smoked kippers on buttery brown toast with freshly cracked black pepper and freshly squeezed orange juice with ground black coffee. Breakfast of champions! Notes of pine and soap. A hint of sweetness balances the smoke on the palate, and there’s plenty of pepper spice on the finish!
