Port Ellen 1979 / 30 Year Old / Old & Rare Platinum Islay Whisky

70cl / 52.6% / Douglas Laing - A subtle, bookish, lemony PE bottled for travel retail, showing cocoa notes, old furniture and some tweed and dusty oak. Like hanging out in a library with your grand-dad. The phenols are restrained at first, but bite back with some oakspice in a warming, dry finish.
