Port Ellen (silent) Old Malt Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky 25 Year Old · 1982 Vintage

Colour

Deep mahogany amber with coppery glints and a ruby edge.

Nose

Coastal peat and sea spray envelope a lush sherry sweetness: dried figs and raisins, dark cocoa and toffee. Leather and toasted oak mingle with walnut spice, while clove and cinnamon frame a whisper of espresso, all drifting toward a refined, resinous smoke.

Palate

Full-bodied and luxurious, this Port Ellen coats the palate with dark prune, fig and raisin, melting into toffee and cocoa from the sherry cask. Peat and smoke weave through, accented by leather, espresso and a whisper of orange zest. Velvet, chewy texture and a warming spice lead to a long, smoky finish with salted caramel, balsamic depth and a lingering maritime bite.

Finish

An enduring, smoky finish that carries rich sherry sweetness. Dark plum and raisin mingle with cocoa and espresso, while spice and leather emerge softly. A salt-kissed maritime edge lingers, cloaking the palate in velvety warmth that slowly fades into a long, resinous glow.
