Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Inviting aromas of smoky honey, accompanied by resins, balsams, and waxy notes. Subtle hints of citrus fruits and a light sea breeze add depth and complexity.
- Palate: Oily texture with a harmonious blend of sweet fruits, including canned peaches, and earthy peat notes. Salty seafood and a touch of white pepper complement the profile.
- Finish: Medium-long and creamy, with a pleasant sweetness and a hint of bergamot and kumquat that enrich the aftertaste.
Distillery/Bottler: Port Ellen was a renowned distillery on the Scottish island of Islay, known for its smoky and complex whiskies. Although the distillery closed in 1983, its legacy continues in bottlings like this one. Gordon & MacPhail, a traditional independent bottler, is known for selecting and bottling rare and high-quality casks that preserve the character of the original distillery.
