Port Ellen 24 years - bottled by Hart Brothers

[pedro_han]

I have just received these two bottles today
I would rather keep it for special occasions since they are quite rate these days..hmmmmmm..A Cohiba Sublime Extra along with Port Ellen, it would make a perfect night!

Never had that one before, must let me know how it is when you decide to have a drop.

Pedro my man... never drank port so can't really comment,,,Sorry

[HabanoSy]

Have to agree with you on this one Pedro...

IMO Port is a great accompaniment to a fine Cigar, can't say as I've ever had Port Ellen though.

You'll have to let us know how it fares...!?!

Cheers, HabanoSy

Habs... you do know it's a whisky, not a port.

Ah!

DOH!!!

Fuck, one to many Rum & Cokes, and it's getting late...

Wondered why I'd never heard of it (as a Port), was just testing ya to see who was still with it, well done Simon, you passed...

Apologies, HabanoSy

[Simon-JG-hr]

it's getting late...

It certainly is . I've got to be up at 4am for a long car journey up north for the start of a holiday (which doesn't actually start until Sunday - long story, won't go into it).

Jeez, Simon. Your gonna be frazzled...

Get yourself to bed mate, although you'll probably feel worse for it now...!?!

Tired, HabanoSy

Oops!! I though it was port too...not a whisky drinker at all LOL

Why am I still here!!!???

Anyway... Not a huge whisky drinker myself, though I do like a drop, and am now back on the port (nasty incident put me off it for a while, don't ask). So, like Habs, the biggest giveaway was that I didn't recognize it as a port label. The clincher though was the word 'distillery' plastered across the cases in the picture... Last time I checked, port wasn't distilled.

Glorious stuff!!!!!

From Port Ellen on Islay, right on my doorstep.I have never tried this bottling or indeed at this age.

Did try a much younger bottling (16yo or 18yo i think).

From what I remember it was really glorious stuff and reminded me of Caol Ila, as it is not as abrasive as some of the other islay malts.

Great purchase mate, definately for a special event,I am really jealous.

Port Ellen has been discontinued - mothballed distillery. But, I agree: a superb drop.
