Lots of minerals and somewhat waxy. Quite aggressive and prickly, but at such a high alcohol percentage, that's no surprise at all. Just a sliver of peat, and a whisper of brine, but otherwise this Port Ellen isn't very coastal at all. Hints of cookie dough, ripe apple and pear skin.

Medium long finish, rich tea biscuits, vanilla, a hint of spice and milk chocolate.
