A 36-year-old Islay single malt from Port Ellen, in a 70cl bottle at a cask strength of 56.6%. It was distilled in May 1979 and bottled in September 2015 by Douglas Laing for its Xtra Old Particular series. The distillery has since closed.
The whisky comes from a single refill hogshead that gave 227 bottles. It is natural in colour and not chill-filtered.
The nose is complex and subtle, lightly peated, with fresh fruit and a little soot. The palate has a syrupy texture, with candied fruit, lime peel and biscuits, plus clear oak and more soot. The finish is long, warm and spicy, with some smoke.
