Port Ellen
 
Port Ellen 1979 Whyte & Whyte      

Jeff – 71

 

Glen – 79

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.
