Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep coppery-amber with a rich mahogany edge and a sherry-woven glow.
Nose
Coastal peat, sea air and iodine rise in a refined smoky veil; medicinal herbs mingle with vanilla-soft oak. Delicate fruit hints brighten the profile as maritime salt and ash linger, imprinting Port Ellen’s Islay depth and the elegant quiet of a storied 1980 vintage.
Palate
Peat smoke with maritime iodine leads, tempered by coastal sweetness. Rich malt, leather and dark chocolate mingle with dried fruit as a saline thread holds it together. Full-bodied yet refined, it glides to a long, smoky finish with citrus zest and a whisper of vanilla.
Finish
Long, maritime finish of coastal peat and smoke, with a saline cling. Dark fruit and cocoa drift in as the smoke subsides, followed by a refined ember and a whisper of leather, lingering with quiet warmth.
