    Port Ellen 27 Year Old 1978 - 6th Release (Special Release 2006)

    A rather rare bottling of 27-year-old, 1978 vintage single malt Scotch whisky from the legendary Port Ellen distillery on Islay. This was released in 2006 as part of Diageo's 6th Special Releases.

    Please Note:!This bottle has minor damage to the back label.

    This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!

    Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

    Big waves of fresh citrus peels, medicinal peat, brine and a hint of black pepper. Notes of orange really start to take hold along the way, as does a little burst of liquorice.

    Stunning!

    Absolutely stunning! I was lucky to ever taste this full bodied Port Ellen where the taste lasts very very long. Much difference between younger Islays because of its age, however still a pleasant peaty taste.
