Port Ellen 1978 Prima and Ultima Fourth Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 700ML Tasting Notes
Nose: Hints of rock salt and dry seaweed, beneath which another smoky note suggests a faded coal sack.
Palate: Smoothly oily and mouth-filling in texture, with the classic Port Ellen balance of sweetness, saltiness and smoke richly expressed in a surprisingly sweet taste to start.
Finish: Long and peppery-smoky, with an attractively spicy edge and a tongue-tingling aftertaste.
Distillery Information
In 1825 a malt mill was established on the outskirts of the village of Port Ellen. By 1833 it had been converted into the Port Ellen distillery by local entrepreneur John Ramsay. Ramsay was an associate of Walter Frederick Campbell, owner of Islay and huge supporter of its fledgling Scotch whisky distilleries.
