I understand this was the first ever Port Ellen distillery bottling - bearing in mind the prices paid for other PE''s with less cachet this expression seems under-valued.
-
One tasting two months ago - strange tasting notes, very unusual whisky, amazing experience. It still haunts me...
-
It really smashed my tastebuds. I mean it.
