Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Bottled by: Gordon & MacPhail 70cl / 60.7%

A marvellous old bottle of Port Ellen 1979 20-year-old Islay single malt whisky bottled at full strength in 2000 by Gordon & MacPhail for their Cask Strength series.

This 20-year-old Port Ellen 1979 was a micro-batch vatting of two sister casks of the 1979 vintage bottled at its extraordinarily potent natural cask strength of 60.7%. A wonderful symphony of grassy, floral notes, engine oil, soot, soil, citrus, saline, woodsmoke, wet sand and green apple peel with an exquisitely austere, blade-like minerally kick, this is a classic example of late-70s PE at its most magnificent.
