Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
1983년 문을 닫은 전설의 아일라 증류소 포트 엘렌은 이제 한 병 한 병이 시대의 유물이다. 오크 캐스크에서 22년을 보낸 1976년 빈티지는 옅은 황금빛을 띠고, 마른 풀과 레몬, 옅은 그을음과 미네랄 향이 고요하게 감돈다. 입에 머금으면 55.9도의 힘 위로 왁스 같은 질감과 후추, 바다 소금, 부드러운 훈연이 깊게 머문다. 사라진 증류소 특유의 우아한 피트가 또렷이 깃들어, 여운은 재와 시트러스로 길고 섬세하게 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…
