Port Ellen (silent) 15th Release Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 32 Year Old · 1983 Vintage

Colour

Dark coppery amber with mahogany depth and a warm tawny edge.

Nose

An immense, dark peat smoke rises—tarry and savoury, like a barbecue over embers. Iodine, sea spray and leather braid through ash and charcoal, with hints of dark chocolate and espresso. Intense yet elegant, this maritime Islay aroma unfurls with refined, lingering complexity.

Palate

On the palate, a monumental, velvety torrent of peat, tar and smoky barbecue, backed by iodine and sea-salt bite. Rich dried fruit, espresso and dark chocolate mingle with leather and charred oak, while a peppery coastal finesse keeps it poised. A long, warming finish with a final kiss of ash and spice.

Finish

An elongated, tarry finish of coastal peat and BBQ smoke, laced with savoury char and sea-salt. It glides into dark fruit, leather and espresso, then settles into a warm, peppery spice that lingers softly, leaving a refined, silky afterglow that echoes the Islay masterclass.
