Nose

Pungent. Acetone, linseed oil/putty, olive oil, canvas, squid ink even apple. Briny (scallop shell, fishmonger) Quite oaky.

Palate

Mouth-coating and smooth. Beeswax, lanolin, pepper, dry smoke. Needs time.

Finish

Rich and tight.

Comment

Has all of Port Ellen's great length, oiliness (and reserve).
