Port Ellen 1978 Port Ellen 23 Year Old, Douglas Laing OMC

from a purchased sample Nose: Easy and fairly pleasant enough. Some coastal creamy quality, with a touch of ashy peat. It's so quiet! There's a heap of lemon and some other apply, acidic fruit. Linseed oil, violets, wax, and then there's something just slightly putrid. Not awful, but it flits in and out. Not really getting the sherry in this. A...

Port Ellen 27 Year Old 1983 Douglas of Drumlanrig

Port Ellen 1982 The Premier Barrel

Nose is smoky, grainy and with an alcohol burn. Body is not real heavy and rather light. While a nice dram, it just does not compare to other Port Ellens I have had.
