Overall
Score
8.0
Nose
A real mariner (fishnet, seaweed). Smoke mingled with sea spray. Grassy. Watermelon. A touch of wild mint.
Palate
Sweet and minty. Caressing mouthfeel. Very refreshing and appetising. Quite simple.
Finish
Warm, drying on liquorice and soft spices.
Comment
A gentle Port Ellen, with the sea influencing the nose more than the palate. Would have proved a heftier guy at a higher strength.
