Very peaty. Lots of smoke on the palette. My first Port Ellen!
Very unexpected. The first Oban I've had that I thoroughly enjoyed.
A phenolic, maritime Scapa with cider, paraffin and seaweed, though age-related dryness gives way to a salty, bitter finish.
A well-made, characterful whisky with oily texture, orchard fruit, biscuits and chalky minerality, ending on peppery oak, salted pear and mineral notes.

Elegant and understated, with waxes, citrus and orchard fruit, this refined whisky turns bitter and herbaceous before a slightly short, fruit-light finish.

A highly refined old whisky, balancing pear, apricot, citrus, mint and subtle oak with remarkable elegance throughout.
Fresh and sprightly, with orchard fruits, wax, orange and pastries; a precise, well-defined malt that proves much less fragile than expected.
