Port Ellen (silent) The Golden Cask Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Miniature 27 Year Old

Colour

Deep burnished gold with warm amber tones and coppery glints.

Nose

Port Ellen's peat dominates with medicinal smoke, iodine and sea-salt breeze, tempered by rich sherry sweetness. Dried figs and raisins mingle with orange zest, toffee and vanilla; lacquered oak, leather and cocoa add depth. Poised, coastal and refined, it hints at age and quiet, smoke-kissed complexity that lingers gracefully.

Palate

Silky, full-bodied and oil-rich, this coats the palate with expansive peat smoke balanced by dusky sherry sweetness. Ripe dark fruit—raisin, fig, prune—melds with cocoa, caramel and orange zest. A saline, mineral spine keeps it maritime and bright, while warming pepper and spice linger long on the finish.

Finish

Long and luxurious, the finish unfolds with smoky peat and coastal brine, then deepens into rich sherry fruit—fig, date, dark chocolate—smoothly balanced with spice and toasted oak. A warm ember of vanilla and almond lingers, accompanied by a maritime resin, gradually fading to a soft, saline echo.
