Port Ellen 1982 (bottled 2001) - Connoisseurs Choice (Gordon & MacPhail)
This is a previous Gordon & MacPhail bottling of Port Ellen. The Port Ellen distillery closed in 1983 and today only the maltings remain in use. This Port Ellen was bottled in 2001 and offers a rare opportunity to taste a Port Ellen younger than twenty years old.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Sherbet lemon, soft calves leather and a hint of linoleum leading to soft salty peat aromas.
Palate
Reasonably gentle with fairly prominent peat and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Finish
Long and lingering with coastal nuances and drifting wood smoke.
Overall
All the complexity you could want with a bit more bite than older bottlings.
