A Belgian wine and spirits retailer established by Koen Philips in 2009 in the same location that his family's ...

Historical context
Distilled in the final years before Port Ellen closed (1983)
Special release
Selected by Luc Timmermans for two whisky shops (De Druiventuin / Whiskysite in Leiden, Holland and QV.ID in Huldenberg, Belgium).
Allocation
Holland and Belgium
Nose
an array of typical Port Ellen notes. Gentle peat and maritime notes (seashells). Hints of plaster. Velvety vanilla as well. Almonds. Soft hints of sweet fruits but no real sherry character. Gets a tad drier over time with some nutmeg and tobacco.
Palate
mouth-coating and creamy, again nicely sweet and fruity. Sugared lemon juice. A bit of pepper, a bit of salt. More peat than on the nose, as well as some mineral notes, but it returns nicely to soft vanilla and a little honey. Rich and balanced.
Finish
lemon and smoke with a hint of aniseed in the very end.
