Nose
Lovely nose, just marvelous peat smoke that’s slightly salty & briny, slightly sweet, slightly citrus but not overwhelming or spicy
Body
No one does smoky whisky to the same level that Port Ellen does and this release is the same story - an almost perfect mix of salty maritime smoke with sweetness, very thick and intense but not in a bad way
Finish
Very long smoky, a bit coaly & ashy, slightly sweet finish, the oaky cask influence comes out at the end to make a bit bitter
