Port Ellen 7th Release
Country: Scotland
Region: Islay
Type: Single Malt
Bottler: Distiller
ABV: 53.8%
Score: 94 Points
The 7th Port Ellen release in the Classic Malts Special Releases series was distilled in 1979 and bottled after 28 years in 2007. It’s a classic with great peatiness, tar, and creosote on the nose, along with brine, heather, smoked salmon, and honey notes. The taste has intense smoke and spice with peat and cinnamon notes that last and last, before fading slowly to reveal honey, brine, and a hint of tartness. The finish lasts and lasts with good peatiness and hints of tar and honey. Outstanding!
