The aroma is quite showy, with strong fresh citrus, a moderate dry barley note, nuts, and a sharp peat smoke. Upon drinking, it has concentrated citrus notes, pistachio, balanced sweetness, acidity, and saltiness, with a charcoal-like peat. A pleasant long finish.
【Good/Very Good】
Port Ellen 1979 bottled by Golden Cask in 2006, aged for approximately 27 years.
The aroma strongly features fresh citrus with a refreshing quality, along with barley notes and nuts without harshness, and a strong yet not heavy sharp peat.
When tasted, the citrus notes have a concentrated nuance, with a strong assertion of peat typical of Islay. While the powerful presence expected from an Islay cask strength whisky isn't extremely strong, the balanced flavor of sweetness, acidity, and saltiness left a favorable impression.
