Port Ellen 25
Country: Scotland
Region: Islay
Type: Single Malt
Bottler: Douglas of Drumlanrig
ABV: 46%
Score: 90 Points
Douglas Laing is known for its Port Ellen bottlings, and this one does not disappoint. The nose is smoky with minimal peat – more campfire than peat – along with notes of brine and seaweed. The taste is peaty with a hint of brine and lemon peel, leading to a smoky finish with lingering cinnamon notes.
