Tasting Notes

A true gem from the legendary Port Ellen distillery, this 40-Year-Old Untold Stories expression is a testament to the exceptional quality of Islay's single malts. Aged for four decades, it unveils a captivating dance of aromas – delicate grassy notes mingle with the sweetness of burnt tangerine skin, while a subtle wisp of smoke teases the senses. As water is introduced, the whisky unfolds further, revealing a delightful crème caramel essence interwoven with roasted coffee, red fruit compote, and the luscious fragrance of ripe peach skin. On the palate, the bonfire smoke takes center stage, accompanied by the rich flavors of pipe tobacco, supple leather, and enticing wood spices. The finish lingers with a veil of wispy smoke, leaving a lasting impression of this extraordinary spirit. With only 1,380 bottles produced, this truly is a rare and coveted expression that whisky enthusiasts will relish.
