Douglas Laing Old Malt Cask Port Ellen 1978 2005 27 Years Old 52,3% bottled for The Whisky Fair

Typical Port Ellen nose, ashes, coal, smoky but an elegant kind of smoke, zesty, gets a bit meaty after a bit of time in the glass

Sweet, briny, zesty, coal, a lot of oomph and smoke, with water it gets sweeter and more zesty, the smoke is somewhat enhanced towards the end

Long smoky & zesty finish, gets a bit spicy and dry towards the end
