    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.

    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.
