Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
노즈에서는 1979년 증류된 포트 엘렌 특유의 차분한 피트 연기와 짭조름한 바닷바람이 두드러진다. 22년을 보낸 긴 숙성이 왁스와 마른 과일, 옅은 가죽을 또렷하게 끌어올린다. 팰럿은 훈연한 보리와 레몬, 미네랄로 발전하며 폐쇄된 아일라 증류소다운 깊이가 단단하다. 56.2도의 질감이 매끄럽고 균형 잡혀 있다. 피니시는 재와 소금기로 길게 이어지며 전설적인 결이 남는다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
certainly livelier and maltier, with quite some smoke, smoked tea, caramel, resins and dried fruits. Something slightly meaty and mineral at the same time, also grassy (newly cut grass, raw asparagus). Whiffs of mint and aniseed
restaurant Palate
sweet, full-bodied, balanced and compact. Starts on Grand-Marnier liqueur, orange marmalade, liquorice, candy sugar… Goes on with herbal tea and earl grey, plum jam, light caramel. Hints of ripe bananas. Uncomplicated again but quite oomphy and flawless, with a medium long but sweet, creamy and satisfying finish. A tad MOTR but highly sippable. 83 points . MUSIC – Recommended listening - It's Sunday, we go classical. Do they have hits in classical music? Sure, for instance la Callas singing Bizet's Carmen.mp3 (Act I - that must have been in 1961 in Paris, with the French National Radio Orchestra). Maybe it got a little kitsch now but it will put you in a good mood straight off. April 29, 2006 TASTING - TWO PORT ELLENS - OR ONLY ONE? Port Ellen 22 yo (56.1%, Whisky-Doris, 2006) It seems this one’s been sold out within a few days. Sorry, I’m late…
