Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose Big hit of grapefruit and melon, nicely tropical... Then switches to the peat, but not huge peat, nicely balanced again...

Palate Very sweet, but balanced with a hitherto unseen salinity in droves...

Finish I'm just going to transpose the comment from the Dictaphone here: “Whisky’s really nice isn't it?”

Overall A marked departure from the previous bunch, much more tropical and zesty. Perhaps the most stereotypical Port Ellen of the first five releases.

I've been really good, can I have
Port Ellen 25 YO 1979?
Hold on, what's this?
