Port Ellen-15th Annual Release-1983-32 year old
Bottled 2015. Distilled and Bottled at Port Ellen Distillery, Port Ellen, Isle of Islay
Bottle number 2605 of 2964. In original carton. Good label. Level: into neck.
"..Mouth (neat): unusual! It's fizzy and prickly like some Schweppes-Lemon, with touches of bitter oranges and, of course, lemons. A feeling of plasticine diluted in turpentine, then perhaps cinnamon mints. Rather big, as most 1983s are in my book. With water: notes of lemon tarte, with some meringue and some cinnamon. Add chlorophyll gum and perhaps one whelk. Finish: rather long but not massive, rather on plasticine, mint, pinesap, and lemon skin. Comments: I find it quite different from the previous releases, still excellent, and a little surprising at times." (5 Stars-Whiskyfun)
