Port Ellen Royal Wedding Reserve Cask #2290

The royal wedding took place more than half a year ago, but it's never too late to pour myself a dram and toast to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

What shall we toast Prince Willie and Kate with? Let's go with a Port Ellen whisky specially bottled by The Whisky Exchange! The whisky was distilled in 1982 which was the birth year of both the bride and groom, and bottled on the day of the wedding. This was matured in a sherry hogshead and yielded about 200 bottles.

Colour: Raw brown sugar
Aroma: Burnt sugar caramel. Dried raisins. Black coffee. Somes notes on old leather. Then some Kiwi brand shoe polish. Simply beautiful on the nose!
Taste: Flambeed cherries with brandy. Orange spice cake and some plums. A dry and short finish but not unpleasant. A tad weak towards the end.
Rating: 90/100
