- Description
- Port Ellen's closed distillery yields this rare 27-year-old from 1982, aged in bourbon casks and finished in Château d'Yquem sauternes barrels for added complexity. The combination delivers Islay's characteristic maritime peat alongside honeyed sweetness from the sauternes influence, creating a sophisticated balance. Rich texture with a long, layered finish that bridges smoke and fruit. A collector's piece for those who appreciate the interplay between peated Scotch and fine dessert wine.
