55.50%
Silver Seal Sestante Collection
Single cask bottling
Bottle Number 206 of 240

Nose: big intense spice nose that has everything that makes Port Ellen such a gem nowadays.
Mouth: some maritime dirtiness, sea spray and brine, herbs, oil, ropes, peppery and chili-esque spice, leather, the wonderful crispy maltiness (like salted crisps), camphor, discrete mint, peat smoke, but also fruit (apricots and green bananas) and vanilla provide for immense complexity that dances on a tightrope between the poles of balance und untamed roughness.
Palate: it delivers on the palate as well and becomes more peaty! A crazy Port Ellen that adds iodine, coal smoke, hay and matchstick sulphur to the mindboggling mix from above and never really finishes.
Note: yet it is very quaffable and screams for a second glass - Awesome!
