Port Ellen 35 Year Old (That Boutique-y Whisky Company)
Port Ellen
Tasting Notes
Imagine a whisky that transports you to the rugged shores of Islay, where the salty sea breeze mingles with the smoky embrace of peat. This Port Ellen 35 Year Old is a true gem, a liquid embodiment of the island's raw beauty. The nose is an intoxicating symphony of fragrant smoke, honey-glazed gammon, and a delightful hint of apricot yoghurt, inviting you to dive deeper. As the whisky graces your palate, a thick, oily texture unveils layers of charred pineapple, warm citrus, and tangy oak, complemented by creamy nuttiness, a whisper of brine, and soft, rolling coastal smoke. Dark fruits emerge, intertwined with notes of cough syrup and peppery oak, while hints of Chamois leather, subtle peat, and a delightful cookie dough ice cream tease the senses. The finish is a lingering embrace of lemon sherbet and sea air, leaving you yearning for another sip of this extraordinary elixir.
