This is a 33 year old single malt from Port Ellen, the closed Islay distillery. It was distilled in 1979 and bottled in 2013 by Gordon & MacPhail, after maturing in refill sherry butts. Only 654 bottles were produced.
The bottling combines delicate peat with marine and fruity notes, and sits in the Gordon & MacPhail Rare Old range.
The nose is fruity, with pear, apple, pineapple and lemon wrapped in peat, alongside ginger, white pepper, a saline touch and seaweed. The palate brings coconut, liquorice, nutmeg and camphor, and the finish is long, with cocoa, smoked fish and a mineral, salty aftertaste.
