Port Ellen (silent) Connoisseurs Choice Single Malt Scotch Whisky 27 Year Old · 1982 Vintage

Colour

Deep coppery amber with a burnished-gold glow and mahogany undertones.

Nose

Coastal peat and iodine rise from the glass, a sea-salt breeze braided with smoky gunmetal. Rich sherry overtones soften the edge, unveiling prune, dried fig and dark cocoa, threaded with vanilla, toffee and toasted almond. Subtle leather and spice linger through a long, velvety finish.

Palate

Luxuriously oily on the palate, it delivers thick peat and maritime brine, braided with sherry-dark fruit—raisin, fig and plum—alongside cocoa, leather and orange zest. A restrained sweetness threads through the smoke, leading to a long, warming finish of ash, spice and sea-salt.

Finish

An enduring, smoky finish that drapes the palate in coastal peat and sherried warmth. Notes of dried fig and raisin fuse with dark chocolate and coffee, while orange zest and soft spice linger, carried on a fading sea-salted breeze. A lush, refined tail that slowly quiets to ember.
