Port Ellen (silent) Connoisseurs Choice Single Malt Scotch Whisky 28 Year Old · 1982 Vintage

Colour

Deep copper-gold with warm amber highlights and a hint of mahogany at the rim.

Nose

Coastal peat and iodine rise with a maritime Islay breeze, tempered by luxurious sherry notes. Rich smoky sweetness folds into dried fig and prune, with hints of cocoa, toffee, and vanilla from ageable oak. Subtle leather, cedar, and spice add depth as polished peat lingers, a refined, long-lasting aroma.

Palate

Peat smoke envelops a sherry–sweet core, with dark fruit, fig and treacle, and whispers of cocoa and espresso. Sea-salt and leather lend maritime depth; the texture is silky and lightly waxy. Warming spice rises to a long, refined finish that lingers with Islay’s coastal character.

Finish

Long coastal smoke and peat fuse with rich sherry, revealing dark fig, cocoa, and toasted almond. Resinous oak and a touch of leather mingle with a hint of salt, curling into a lasting, warm, refined afterglow that clings to the palate.
