A spectacular 35-year-old whisky from Port Ellen, joining Douglas Laing's Xtra Old Particular collection of rare whiskies. This single cask, single malt Scotch was distilled in 1983 and left to slumber soundly for 35 years in a single refill hogshead, before being bottled straight from the cask at 54.3%, non-chill filtered, and with no added colour. With an outturn of only 133 hand-filled bottles, this particularly astounding Islay expression will make a great addition to any collection.
The elegant nose brings sweet leather with gentle peat smoke and salted caramel.
The palate delivers damp ash, charred oak, and a burnt sugar sweetness.
The long finish reveals hints of coffee and candied ginger with a sweetly smoked style.
