Distillery
Port Ellen
Region
Islay
Type
Single Malt Whisky
This is a Port Ellen single malt from Islay, distilled in 1981 and bottled in 2000 by Gordon & MacPhail for its Connoisseurs Choice range. Port Ellen is a silent distillery. The nose is spicy and herbal, with a round sweetness and peat that is lighter and less medicinal than in other Islay whiskies of the same period. The palate is warm and soft yet intense, with earthy notes that turn to seaweed. The finish is long and rather dry without bitterness, ending malty-sweet and smoky.

About Glenbotal

The idea of Glenbotal came to us naturally: as whisky lovers, we were always on the lookout for new experiences in the whisky world. That’s why we created Glenbotal and became our very own first customers. We buy unique and hard to find spirits from ballots and private collections. Then, we share them with a small circle of friends and people who can appreciate a good dram.
