Tasting Notes
Colour
pale gold
air Nose
a p.o.w.e.r.h.o.u.s.e. Ultra-big notes of lime and green apples, sour herbs (sorrel?), a little yeast/yoghurt and a huge smokiness. Little tar this time, rather a huge, grassy peat, although it does get a little quieter after a few minutes. It becomes also very medicinal for Port Ellen (bandages, camphor). Caraway seeds. This may well be brilliant whisky as well but let’s play with water now… With water: there’s actually much more of the very same. Lemons and grapefruits, lemon pie, brine, kippers, cumin… It also became rather less medicinal, in fact. In other words, a clean, crystal-clean old young Port Ellen
restaurant Palate
wah! So powerful, so pungent, so explosive. Almost apocalyptic I have to say. No I’m not scared, but… Tankers of limejuice, bags of green grassy peat and wheelbarrows of apple peelings. Not much else so far on my palate but I’m sure water will do wonders again… With water: OMG. One of the most perfect combinations of lemon, salt and smokiness I’ve ever tasted. It is simple whisky, but it is perfect whisky
timer Finish
you bet! It’s simply endless, with the kippers and a lot of ashes in the aftertaste
