OMC Port Ellen 23 Year

This item is archived.

This independent bottling is from my favorite distillery, Port Ellen. Port Ellen closed in 1983, and it's whisky is increasingly hard to come by... This bottling was matured in a sherry butt, 549 bottles produced, 50%ABV.

Independent bottler Douglas Laing somehow seems to get their hands on more casks of Port Ellen than anyone else. What can I say, brothers Fred & Stuart know what they're doing. "Nose: With sea tang, salt & tarry sweetness. Palate: Dry, saline, sweet & leathery. Finish: Runs long on tar, an oily quality & peat." - Fred Laing. Bottled from 1 sherry butt, 549 bottles, 50%ABV.

750 ml
