1979 Port Ellen 32 Year Old Douglas Laing’s Old & Rare “A Platinum Selection” 54,8% Vol

The Port Ellen 1979 32 Year Old Old & Rare Platinum is a highly sought-after whisky from the cult closed Islay distillery. Here are the tasting notes for this exceptional bottle:

Nose: Initially, you’ll notice a massively fresh salt and sea-air tang, which warms up to a round, soft damp leather character with melting sugar tones.

Palate: The mouthfeel is full and distinctly oceanic, with salty, dry flavors and cedar wood tones, along with an ashy suggestion.

Finish: The finish is long and lingering, featuring soft calves leather, grapes, and lemon zest.

Sounds like a delightful dram!
