Tasting Notes

This ultra-rare Port Ellen whisky, distilled in 1978 and bottled in 2002, is a true gem. Unlike its predecessor, the bouquet showcases a delightful floral essence reminiscent of lavender, accompanied by an intensified peat presence. On the palate, it unveils a chewy texture that envelops the senses with notes of pipe tobacco, delicate Parma violets, and the lingering aroma of lavender. The finish is nothing short of extraordinary, leaving an indelible impression that lingers for an eternity. Bottled from the renowned distillery that ceased production in 1983, this whisky is a coveted treasure that encapsulates the legendary status of Port Ellen, offering a truly exceptional and unforgettable experience.
