Port Ellen (silent) Douglas Of Drumlanrig Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 23 Year Old · 1983 Vintage

Colour

Deep coppery amber with mahogany hues and a glint of ruby.

Nose

Opulent peat smoke and sea spray open, with medicinal iodine and a touch of maritime brine. Sherry cask sweetness coats fig, raisin and dark chocolate, balanced by polished oak. Warming spice, vanilla and leather drift through, delivering a long, smoky, refined aroma.

Palate

Powerful and velvety, the palate unfolds with dense peat smoke, maritime iodine and a sherry-lifted sweetness. Ripe red fruit, fig and cocoa mingle with espresso and toasted oak, while peppery spice and a saline edge drive a long, warming finish that lingers with smoke and iodine.

Finish

A bold, full-strength finish unfurls with coastal smoke and sea-salt tang, aided by sherry-cask echoes of dried fruit and toasted nuts. Peat lingers with medicinal notes, while leather, cocoa and spice thread through the long, warming finale.
