Port Ellen 23yo (40%,75cl, Distilled in 1982, Connoisseurs Choice)


Appearance:
Very pale gold
Nose:
Peat and smoke.
Palate:
Exceptionally smooth peat slowly merges with an unintrusive smokey flavor.
Finish:
Lingering peat and smoke with hints of biscuit.
Grade: A+
Comment: I'd been on the prowl for a bottle of Port Ellen for some time (relatively speaking). This distillery closed its doors when I was but three years old and stumbling upon a bottle was unexpected to say the least. While this Connoisseurs choice bottling was spectacular, but I'm longing for Diageo to release the next vintage directly from the sealed Port Ellen storehouse on Islay.

I'm amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that's equally educative and
interesting, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the
head. The issue is something which too few people are
speaking intelligently about. I'm very happy I stumbled across this in my hunt for something relating to this.
