Port Ellen Old & Rare Platinum Selection 25 Year Old, Refill Butt Cask, 1982, Douglas Laing, 57.7%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

90 / 100

The sea-air nose and dry, salty, ashy palate give this a clear coastal edge. I like that sweet barley comes through before the more creosoted tail; the long, tarry finish sounds especially compelling, though the style seems firmly peat-led.
