    Port Ellen 32 Year Old 1979 - 11th Release (Special Release 2011)

    This 1979 vintage single malt from Port Ellen spent 32 years maturing before it was bottled at cask strength for Diageo's 2011 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

    Nose

    Honeycomb and chocolate raisins, coconut, damson jam, quince cheese, grapes and very soft smoke. Not one of the most peaty Port Ellens so far.

    Palate

    Blackberries, guava, and also something which I probably shouldn't put (let’s just say it’s not unlike the flavour of tomato skins in a greenhouse). India rubbers, pepper, dry oak, under-ripe apples, pear skins and mango.

    Finish

    Quite smoky now with coal, maple syrup, corn soot and rum spice.

    Overall

    Another fascinating whisky – utterly divine.

    The bees knees?

    I haven't tried this but will be prepared to receive a bottle of this holy nectar and give an honest report of it's subliminal and orgasmic gifts to you, the dear reader.
