This is a 32 year old Port Ellen from Islay, distilled in 1983 and issued as the 15th release in the Diageo Special Releases series. It matured in bourbon oak casks and was bottled in a run of 2,964 bottles.
Port Ellen is a silent distillery, and this release is described as a big, dark, tarry and savoury peated malt.
The nose opens with red apple and wine pears over a waxy, mineral base of warm sand, sea air, seaweed and campfire ash. The palate is sweet, tangy and dry, with wood ash, burnt jam tarts, treacle and caramelised oranges. The finish is long and herbaceous, marked by wood smoke.
