Single Malt
Scotland
1 Sept 1978
1 Oct 2013
A Hunter Laing bottling of single malt Scotch whisky from one of the most renowned closed distilleries in Scotland - Port Ellen. Distilled at the Islay distillery in September 1978 and aged in a refill butt until October 2013, when it was bottled at 35 years old with an outturn of 231 bottles. Part of Hunter Laing's Old & Rare Platinum range, and this one certainly lives up to that lofty title.
Rich with earthy peat and great wafts of coastal air.
Sweetness comes through with honey and pleasing peat. A glorious mouth feel.
Very long and rich with that sweet, rich peat and thick honey.
Port Ellen continues to impress, even while closed still (sadly).
