Port Ellen (silent) Dun Bheagan Single Cask #789 Whisky 23 Year Old · 1983 Vintage

Colour

Deep burnished copper with rich amber and mahogany hues.

Nose

Sea-salted peat and iodine rise with brisk smoke, carried by the hints of coal and sea air. Layered beneath, dark sherry fruit—prune, fig, raisin—mingle with cacao, leather and toasted oak. A resinous, medicinal warmth lingers, echoing Islay's coastal spirit.

Palate

Silky, oil-rich and peated, this Port Ellen delivers seaside smoke that lingers on the palate. Briny, medicinal notes mingle with sherry sweetness—fig, raisin and dark chocolate—while spice and leather thread through the mouth. Velvet mouthfeel clings to the tongue as oak and resin unfold, finishing with a long, warming plume of peat, ash and faint sweetness.

Finish

Long maritime finish with peat smoke and sea salt. Rich sherried fruit—fig, date, dark cocoa—unfolds over toasted oak, bringing spice and a whisper of leather. The finale lingers with charcoal-tinged ash, tempered by sweetness, fading into refined smoke.
