Description
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Soft peat rises out of the glass with tangy sea salt and green grape aromas.
Palate
The palate is bold but not over powering; clean menthol and peaty iodine roll around with refreshing clarity.
Finish
It seems infinite, it is like the Islay shoreline is lapping at the back of your mouth as sweet vanilla, smoke and menthol swirl about.
Overall
Superb balance and immensely potent. There is a reason why Port Ellen is so popular other than its value and rarity.
