Port Ellen (silent) Hart Brothers Finest Collection Single Malt Scotch Whisky 19 Year Old · 1977 Vintage

Colour

Dark copper-amber with a rich, sherry-kissed glow and mahogany edges.

Nose

Aromas of coastal peat smoke rise with salty sea air and a briny iodine core. Dried prunes and raisins mingle with cocoa and dark chocolate, while leather and vanilla oak lend suave sweetness and a mineral, maritime lift.

Palate

Powerfully peated and maritime, this 19-year Port Ellen from the Hart Brothers Finest Collection glides across the palate with smoke and salt, unfolding dark fruit, cocoa and a touch of espresso. Subtle spice and polished oak support a velvety texture at 43% ABV, leading to a long, ash-tinged finish that lingers with mineral salt and refined peat smoke.

Finish

Very long, maritime finish where peat smoke and sea spray cling to the palate. Dark chocolate and dried fruit unfold, with a subtle sherry sweetness warming the middle, while toasted oak and espresso notes recede into a refined, lingering spice and coastal finish.
