Port Ellen 1983 26 Year Shinanoya 'Chess-Castling'

Nose: Oh, beautiful peat. It's briney with waxy lemon, and a very limited amount of tire and diesel fuel. Fruity, mangoes, apricots, quince jam. It just turns very lush tropical fruit.

I know I'm repeating myself when I say...

Port Ellen 1979 30 Year Old 9th Release (2009)

This 9th release from 2009 was one of the last official Port Ellen that was released with a somewhat normal price tag at the start. But that does not mean you can still find it at said price, of course. I will not start a debate on whether or not it is worth the 800 EUR it commands today, but I am quite sure it is pretty good. The nose shows all...
