Port Ellen demands a high price since it’s now a silent still on Islay. This whisky reminded us of a Lagavulin light and seemed to improve the longer it stayed in the glass. The nose is smoky, but with a corn syrup sweetness. The dram is medium bodied and had a dry smoky finish.
Nose: Smoky, corn syrup sweetness, charcoal, some subtle peat and iodine, fresh churned butter, some citrus
Body: Medium
Finish: Long, very dry, smoky, some sweetness at the end
A mid-range Islay, nice and not too overpowering.
