Color

Tawny

Nose

Immediately becomes lovely and aromatic. Lightly peated with a little tar, notes of sherry are coming up, walnuts, milk chocolate, toffee and oranges in the background. But where is the alcohol? I can not smell the 62.2% at all.

Taste

Ooops! I expected a powerful explosion of peat and alcohol and got plenty of lovely sherry with maple syrup, toffee, pepper and liquorice instead. There is some peat of course, but it remains somehow in the background. A very very rich and pleasant taste. Fantastic !!!

Finish

Endless, dry, rich and totally pleasant.

Comments

A highlight within the Port Ellen range. Highly recommended.
