Port Ellen 27 Year Old 1983 (cask 6101) - Provenance (Douglas Laing)
A 27 year old, single cask Port Ellen, need we say more? Well, just in case we'll add that it was distilled in Spring 1983 (just before the legendary distillery closed for good) and was bottled in Spring of 2010 from refill butt number 6101.
This bottle was part of a private collection.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Stunning Port Ellen nose of surprisingly light smoke, but hints of caramel and citrus, coastal notes too, and a fresh character. This is where the similarity lies between Port Ellen and Talisker - the nose gives you very little idea of what to come.
Palate
And there is it. The big smoke, minty peat notes, oily, hints of creosote, salty driftwood, calves leather, cigar smoke.
Finish
Long and creamy with hints of salt and cedar.
Overall
Port Ellen never fails to impress.
