Description

An Islay distillery that developed a cult status following its closure by Distillery Company in 1983.

Nose
excellent youthful Port Ellen. Immediately on chalky notes, wet cement, limestone and lamp oil. Some maritime notes (oysters) and antiseptics. Then some rounder notes of frangipane and lime. Not much peat, it's more of a dusty and slightly farmy style. Hints of sheep stables indeed, lovely.
Palate
oily, almost fatty (high alcohol helps to get this effect) and highly compact. Herbal potions, coal smoke and tarry notes, bandages, smoked lemons, kippers, waxed leather and a good dose of chilli. Still quite some farmy notes in the background.
Finish
long, with quite some tea, grapefruit and cold ashes.
