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.
