Port Ellen 14 Year Old, 1974, Il Sestante, 64.5%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

92 / 100

Sweet sherry against coal smoke is a compelling contrast, and the waxed leather and saline notes add depth. The long, balanced finish makes this worth chasing for its character, not just the name on the bottle.
