An independently bottled Port Ellen, distilled in 1982 and bottled 2016 by German bottler Malts of Scotland. It was distilled in 1982, the year before the distillery was closed, and bottled in 2016. It was drawn from a single Sherry hogshead, with 225 bottles produced. Very rare indeed...
Lemon and orange peels, sooty smoke and a little bit of raisin.
Honey, peat, oily walnut, dried fruit and some salinity.
Spiced and long, though a balancing sweetness persists.

On tasting again after 12 months: a ******* star whisky: in Heaven the Angels will drink nothing else!
The greatest sherried Port Ellen I have tasted. Amazing depth of finish.
A very rare bottling, Port Ellen matured in a sherry hogshead, the sherry sweetness complementing the typical Port Ellen style. A whopping price tag but an interesting whisky for Port Ellen fans. One of those 'try before you die' whiskies.
