Port Ellen 25 yo 1982 (58.2%, Douglas of Drumlarig for Kingfisher, Selection 2008, Sherry Butt) Kingfisher is the nickname of our very own excellent Taiwanese Ho-cheng of maniacal fame. Colour: gold. Nose: this baby is much more organic, wild and almost animal. Peat, tar, very old balsamico, leather polish, hints of toffee, earl grey tea, cold ashes and a faint beefiness. Mildly sherried, but sherried. Probably refill. With water: works wonderfully. Hypersmoke and ‘the engine of a 1962 E-type’ (wot???) Mouth (neat): very big attack, on crystallised oranges, peat, lemon, ginger and smoked tea (lapsang souchong – litres!) Also a little fudge and lemon marmalade, and even hints of icing sugar, then quite some pepper. Nervous. With water: tarry, smoky lemons and gingered orange marmalade. Pretty perfect. Finish: long, candied and peaty, with quiet some salt. Comments: how do you peat orange marmalade? Well selected, Ho-cheng!
