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.
