Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep amber with copper and mahogany undertones, a glossy honey-gold glow.

Nose

Aromas of peat smoke mingle with rich sherry, releasing dark fig, raisin and cocoa. Coastal brine and iodine lend a sea-kissed edge, while notes of leather and polished oak add depth—an elegant, smoky invitation with restrained, lingering warmth.

Palate

Silky and full-bodied, Port Ellen coats the palate with maritime peat and iodine, supported by dark sherry fruit—fig, raisin, cocoa. Rich espresso and toffee notes emerge, while a spicy, oak-driven backbone and a saline, lingering finish carry through long after the swallow.

Finish

Long and luxurious, this finish threads fragrant peat with rich sherry-soaked fruit, leaving a cocoa-kissed, smoky echo. Maritime salt and warm spice shimmer, fading into toasted oak with a faint kiss of iodine as Port Ellen lingers on the palate.

Port Ellen (silent)
(Port-Ellen) As far as many people are concerned, Port Ellen is one of the great lost distilleries of Scotland. Port Ellen Whisky was founded in 1825 on the south shore of Port Ellen Islay by A. K. Mackay & Co. Closed in 1983 after being mothballed between 1930 and 1967. And with three Islay distilleries on the hands of the owners Port Ellen was the one to close with Caol Ila and Lagavulin surviving the 1980s closures.
