Tasting Notes
This remarkable whisky from the revered Port Ellen Distillery invites you on a journey through Islay's rugged charm. Distilled in 1983, the year it shuttered, and matured for 35 years, it unveils layers of smoky allure. The nose captivates with charcoal and toasted barley notes, brightened by candied lemon peel and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, a harmonious dance unfolds between peaty salinity and tropical fruit freshness, punctuated by oak, soot, and spice. The finish leaves a subtly chocolatey trail, with lingering smoky spices echoing the island's essence. A rare gem that epitomizes Islay's character, offering a taste of history and a promise of Port Ellen's renaissance.
