Port Ellen (silent) The Whisky Show 2010 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 27 Year Old · 1983 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with mahogany and copper highlights, a warm, shimmering hue.

Nose

Peat smoke and sea air blaze through the nose, with iodine and coastal brine anchoring the perfume. Sherry-influenced sweetness unfurls dark fruit—prune, fig, and raisin—alongside treacle, burnt sugar and cocoa. Subtle leather, resinous oak and spice weave in, creating a luxurious, age-softened complexity that hints at power and refinement.

Palate

Powerful yet elegant, the palate unfolds with thick peat smoke and coastal brine, balanced by rich sherry sweetness. Dark fig and raisin mingle with cacao, espresso and toasted oak, while ginger and clove spice glow. The finish is long and savory, with leather, ash and a final kiss of salt.

Finish

Long, maritime finish with coastal peat smoke and sherry sweetness lingering gracefully. Notes of dark chocolate, dried fig, and spice unfold, then melt into a velvety, resinous glow of tobacco, leather, and sea salt—the kind of finish that lingers like a well-kept memory.
