Alvast heel erg bedankt voor jullie hulp!!
dit is wat de gerenommeerde whiskyprofessor Serge Valentin er over denkt:
Port Ellen 27 yo 1982/2010 (55.5%, Old Bothwell, cask #2558) Isn’t it amazing that Old Bothwell have so many PEs these days? Colour: straw. Nose: yahowow! It’s one of these crystal-clean, extremely zesty Port Ellens, and this one is maybe even cleaner than the cleanest PEs I could try so far. Little tar and little coal, rather bags of seaweed, lime and peat (smoke), then whiffs of barnyard and loads of apple peelings. It’s even a little camphory ala Laphroaig. Superb! With water: candle wax and coal smoke plus oceans of tar and shoe polish this time. This baby reminds me a bit of the two 1978s Rare Malts, even if it becomes a tad cardboardy afrer a moment, which was unexpected. Mouth (neat): yodlayeedleeyah! (that’s no official tasting vocabulary, in case you didn’t notice). ‘Green’ raw peat, lemon and lime, green tea, grass, grapefruits… Extremely zesty and ‘sharp like a blade’, as they say. The purity of crystal, with just a little rubber in the background, as often with PE in my opinion. With water: perfection made whisky. Textbook raw Port Ellen – and it’s even drinkable, imagine! Finish: very long, with a lingering peat (but why is peat always lingering in tasting notes?) Comments: I think we should go burgle Old Bothwell’s. RU game? Not all are great in my opinion but this one was fab. SGP:368 – 92 points.
Ik heb zelf 2 flesjes van deze Port Ellen staan, en ik geef hem over de ganse lijn gelijk! Meer nog, Na 2 kleine drams was de 3de zo mogelijks nog veel beter... Geweldige whisky, en voor mij een mooie prijs kwaliteit verhouding, wetende wat Piet schreef over Port Ellen en de sluiting sedert 1983! Vooral de lemon & lime, green tea, grass enz smaak is fantastisch!
