A very interesting Port Ellen as the color would not make me think that it would be any sweet; the first Port Ellen where I sense zero sea-saltiness and instead the BBQ dried meats meatiness is very impressive
Nose
Mesmerizing meaty smoky nose
Body
Very peaty smoky body, slightly sweet & hot but the smokiness is overwhelming, like an open campfire BBQ, salty, the meatiest PE I’ve ever drank, almost zero sea-saltiness
Finish
Long smoky finish, the smokiness lingers accompanied by a slight sweetness
