Nose
Smoke and citrus, those are the two main aromas that I get on this creamy nose. Then something that reminds me of Mandarine Napoléon (Belgian mandarin liqueur), softly spiced on pepper and a drop of olive oil. The peat is soft and sweet. Just a few maritime elements, like a sea breeze. Fresh.
Palate
Very oily and salty on the palate, before the fruit kicks in. Mandarins, again, but also yellow and blue plums. Caramel and black pepper. Salty liquorice, mildly drying. The peat is more pronounced now. The higher ABV gives it quite a bit of punch.
Finish
The finish lasts very long and keeps a perfect balance between the salty, smoky character of Port Ellen with the sweet and dry elements of the sherry cask. It is even a little bit zesty. Wonderful Port Ellen that goes back and forth between sweet and salt.
