Port Ellen (silent) The McGibbon's Provenance Single Malt Scotch Whisky 24 Year Old · 1983 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with mahogany depth and coppery highlights.

Nose

Port Ellen’s peat and maritime edge rise first, a whisper of iodine and sea-salt spray. The aroma broadens to sherry-matured fruit—dark raisin, fig and plum—laced with cocoa and roasted spice. A refined smoky sweetness lingers, touched by leather and old oak, finishing with a poised, coastal elegance.

Palate

Silky and weighty on the palate, it opens with bold peat, brine and coastal smoke, then sweetens to dark fruit and sherry-soaked raisins. Cocoa, coffee and brown sugar mingle with oak spice, white pepper and a hint of iodine. The finish is long and refined, with saline lift and lingering smoky cocoa.

Finish

An expansive, lingering finish: coastal smoke and mineral brine fade into rich sherry sweetness—figs, raisins and dark chocolate—then soften to toasted oak and a final peppery glow that lingers like a memory of the Islay wind.
