Port Ellen (silent) Douglas Of Drumlanrig Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 27 Year Old · 1983 Vintage

Colour

Deep burnished mahogany with copper-amber highlights.

Nose

Intense peat smoke drifts over briny sea air, cloaked in mellow sherry sweetness. Iodine and medicinal notes mingle with waxy peat, ash and coastal kelp, while dark fruit—prune and fig—touch cocoa and orange zest in a poised, maritime perfume.

Palate

Powerful peat and coastal brine greet the palate, followed by sherry-dark fruit—fig, raisin, plum—woven through lacquered oak. Rich espresso and dark chocolate mingle with iodine and black pepper, while a saline mineral tension sustains a long, smoky finish.

Finish

Long maritime smoke lingers alongside a sherried sweetness, merging dark fruit with cocoa and leather. Peat stays focused and refined, while vanilla and oak weave a velvety backbone. The finish grows warm and ember-like, fading to a polished mineral glow with a gentle peppery kiss that lingers.
