Суммаризация отзывов

Отзывы описывают Port Ellen 1978 как классический, сложный и мощный виски с дымными, морскими, цитрусовыми и травянистыми нотами, при этом алкоголь (около 60%) часто воспринимается хорошо интегрированным. Многие отмечают длинный финиш и высокую питкость.

развернуть подробно

В текстовых отзывах этот Port Ellen 1978 последовательно описывается как классический представитель винокурни с высокой сложностью и мощным характером. В ароматах чаще всего упоминаются дым, торф, морские и минеральные ноты (морской воздух, водоросли, ракушки, соль, йод), цитрусовые (лимон, грейпфрут), а также травянистые, цветочные, медовые, ванильные и фруктовые оттенки; иногда встречаются ноты кожи, табака, кофе, шоколада и технические/нефтяные тона. Во вкусе отмечают маслянистость и полноту, дым, торф, цитрусы, специи и перец, солёность, а также хорошую балансировку сладкого и сухого. Несмотря на крепость около 60%, многие рецензенты пишут, что алкоголь хорошо скрыт и не ощущается резким. Финиш в большинстве отзывов описывается как длинный, иногда очень длинный, с дымом, солью, цитрусом, травами и дубовыми специями. Вместе с тем в отзывах есть и критические замечания: часть рецензентов называют виски «резким» или «грубоватым» на финише, отмечают, что дуб может быть слишком заметен, а некоторым не хватает фруктовости во вкусе. Несколько человек указывают, что виски требует времени в бокале и иногда капли воды. Общая тональность отзывов — очень высокая оценка качества, сложности и баланса, с отдельными оговорками о цене и о том, что стиль не для всех.

A classic. Like a Port Ellen, the nose is often absolutely outstanding in terms of aroma and complexity. Just my thing. In the mouth and in the finish it is much more snappy than expected and the oak pushes quite a bit, almost a little too much. Still a grand old Port Ellen. But there were some whose noses also held out the aroma. Damned. Now I'm already making a 92 point malt bad. It was a pleasure to have a Port Ellen in my glass again.

It's hard to believe that it's 60% ABV, the alcohol is perfectly integrated. Very good dynamics of aromatic development in the glass. I always wondered what kind of Port Ellen this is, what kind of magic is paid for by such funds. And now I understand - for balance and the highest quality in all parameters. Everything about it is almost perfect. Elegantly smoky, oily, even somewhat funky, very drinkable, deep, rich, dynamic. Just a great example of Ayla. Is it worth today's money? I don't think so, but it's worth a try. In the nose - lemon, ash, smoked fish, Ulon green tea, something technical (some kind of fuel or lubricant), herbal collection, and also buns with lemon cream. Pistachio halva appears with water. The taste is delicate and berry. The aftertaste is long. And once again I will note the incredible drinkability, at this degree. In general, I really liked it. Would I take a sample again for this price? - definitely not

Sea air, seafood, smoke from a dying fire, roasted citrus, sponge cake, lemon tart, a touch of medicinal, brine, ash, herbal tea, and after a while, the sweetness of red fruits. Brilliant on the nose, very complex, dense, with the alcohol completely hidden. Wow! Powerful on the tongue, great smoke, oily and thick, fudge, baked citrus, ash, herbs, yellow and white fruits, brine, minerality, seafood, well-hidden alcohol, you can't even feel the 60%. The finish is long, becoming drier, the smoke fades beautifully, it's maritime, citrusy, fresh, herbal, with a metallic-mineral finish.

Very strong bourbon cask peat. Citric lemon with honey sugar. Peat was dominant on nose, seaweed and oyster and then floral, but peat wasn't that strong in the palate but heavily floral, which was good for me. (I personally believe that the old peat should be gentle and smooth peat) Truly delicate and smooth, white heather and some tropical fruity sugar. Finish is long, smooth and subtle.

https://kaypingers-whiskyblog.de/frontend/fullarticle.php?id=317 Color: straw yellow Nose: Creamy-waxy-sweet! Vanilla sticks, honeycombs, lime and gentle lemon. Overall maritime-spicy, with white peppercorns, smoke and peat (but less than 20yo). It continues with aromas of dull, green fruit, such as ripe avocado and crab apple, accompanied by oak. A very nice balanced and harmonious nose - great! Taste: First gently lying on the tongue, then creamy and spicy to razor-sharp salty. Cayenne pepper, red chilli, vanilla, grapefruit and high-quality peat! In addition beautifully integrated wood and sweet peat-mud - fantastic !! With preserved herbs and fresh mint it goes into the finish. Finish: Long - fresh, spicy and always delicious! The fruit and the peaty phenols are still taut. Honey, vanilla, smoke, wet coal, hot asphalt - and always sweet-fruity-fresh to the end. 94 points N: 93P / G: 95P / F: 93P

Opened this one on my wedding day back in 2016, just had another small sample of it and it is as good as I remember. Dirty citrus and peat. Nice saline quality to it. Some call it rough but for me this is about as good as it gets.

Straight Jacket Let’s finish this line-up of Port Ellen samples with this official bottling from the famous Rare Malts Selection (the predecessor of the Diageo Special Releases). It has spent almost as much time in the bottle as it did in the cask. I sometimes see this bottle at auctions, but it will then set you back between 950 and 1500 EUR. Take your time for this one. Very complex nose on vanilla and almonds, joined by grapefruit, graphite, diesel oil, walnuts and the skin of Pink Lady apples. Then more citrus, candle wax, wet rocks, caramel and white fruit. Unexpected hint of mokatine and cold coffee. Becomes quite salty after a few minutes. Salted caramel, nougat, liquorice. Delicious. OMG! O-M-F-G! What a powerhouse. Sweet versus salt, but the salt is clearly stronger. Almost brackish, sturdy and feisty on tar and diesel, lemon and oyster sap, kippers and all of this is a straight jacket of smoke. Man, this makes me very, very happy. The finish is a grand continuation of the palate, lasts forever and fills me with a satisfaction beyond words. There is a god and it has been captured in this bottle!

Jackson05 Connoisseur 91 13 oct 2020 6:13 am

A great malt for sure, but not an extinct style, IMO. Really intense Port Ellen in its prime. Another take no prisoners Rare Malt. Really great in some ways, pretty rough on the finish.

Вкус	91	Thick honey, pretty rough at full strength, a real brute. Waxy, hot cayenne, seashells, lemon and capers, peat builds - menthol, brisket, charcoal, billowing smoke
Финиш	89	Burnt plastic, iodine, heavy black smoke, bandaids, tiger balm. Really condensed and intense finish. A little too rough here.

OJK Expert Senior 93 28 oct 2020 2:02 am

Soft vanilla with brine and salty apple and tangerine on the nose. The palate is enveloping and complex, with salts and more orchard fruits, mint ice cream, oily liquorice and nuts, evolving with a wave of vanilla smoke that carries the notes from the palate into a huge finish.

You always expect something exceptional from Port Ellen, especially in the Rare Malts series. I drank the same 20 - year-old and it was a masterpiece. Let's see what we have here... after tasting, I can say that this is a great whisky for a long meditation.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	92	The smell of fresh grass, fresh meadow. Faint smoke. The smell of fresh lime and fresh yellow Apple with a leaf at the base. Warm sweet Apple jam. In the second glass, he poured a little whisky and a few drops of water. In this glass, the floral theme rises, the newly mown grass that dries into hay. Notes of Duchess. Pears.
Вкус	93	Taste. Native taste of Port Ellen. The mouth is filled with fruit sweetness. It's like I've stuffed my mouth full of Apple, pear, apricot, peach, and a couple of dried fruits, all of which are replaced by the taste of marmalade from the same fruit, and then, Montpensier lollipops. It's like I emptied the whole box out of greed and couldn't handle it. Mouth and saliva are missing. Now the drum of water. It is much softer and much sweeter, smooth, velvety.
Финиш	92	Aftertaste of sweet pear with a little bitterness from its seeds, Apple, jam with foie Gras. Long sweet aftertaste. The transition from sweet to sweet is accompanied by a moment of taste, as if you ate fresh grass. In the dram with water, the aftertaste is also sweet, but with a slight bitterness, which happens in the seeds (kernels) of fresh apricots. And again, sweetness.

VISION_CHEN Expert Junior 92 22 jun 2021 5:14 pm

Nose: The beginning is powerful, dry smoke, burning paper. Then the fruitiness of citrus is enhanced, followed by seafood and floral fragrance. The aroma began to become more moist. Ink, walnut oil, snake fruit, coconut wax, metal, almond cookies. The bottom of the cup has a salty smell, which can be found by just stuffing your nose in, and this smell is trying to use alchemy to sublimate all other flavors. Finally, this is a very complex bottle of whisky. For it, only the constant change is the same, and the balance is also perfect. Drink: The taste is oily and smooth, and the mouth is occupied by wonderful smoke, citrus, lemon, carbon, orange peel, dark chocolate, licorice, and many carbons, which secrete a lot of saliva. Overall: I keep wanting to add flavor descriptions to the fragrance column, but I find that I have written too much. But there are still fresh pineapple and dirty dog paws, don’t you write it?

This whisky was part of the following tasting: Port Ellen 20YO 1982 Lombard’s Jewels of Islay (WB25250) Port Ellen 24YO 1982 The Whisky Fair (WB5693) Port Ellen 22YO 1978 Rare Malts (WB2489) I had high expectations, but it didn't end up in first place in the tasting. Still, this is a very high quality whisky, and if it had a bit more fruitiness on the palate, it would certainly be much more appealing to me.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	90	The most delicate nose in the lineup, and incredibly complex from the first sniff. Lemon cheesecake, a hint of vanilla, and a slight honey scent. Tropical fruits, raspberries, and peat in small traces. It's so delicate that it's a bit challenging to pinpoint more specific notes. With a little time in the glass, the saltiness becomes more pronounced, along with a slight stable notes like with Lombard’s. Excellent nose, although I slightly prefer Lombard’s.
Вкус	88	If it was delicate on the nose, it certainly isn't on the palate. Oily, creamy, again grassy, honey, vanilla, and caramel. The wood is subtly noticeable and nicely integrated, alcohol perhaps even less noticeable than I expected and excellently integrated. Ginger, saltiness, seaweed, wasabi, and a slight smokiness. Unlike the nose, there's very little fruitiness here, with only faint traces of fruit, and I couldn't pinpoint the exact fruit taste. The nose was noticeably better.
Финиш	87	Ginger, pepper, herbal, umami, quite short but pleasant.

gossm01 Connoisseur 91 09 apr 2025 4:23 pm

It has an oily viscosity and a highly intense bouquet. I have aromas of maritime notes, vanilla, crème brulee, butter biscuit, hay, citrus, honey sweetness, spicy oak, and coffee. Relatively complex. A good balance between sweetness and dryness in terms of flavor. The alcohol is well integrated and it has a heavy body.

First impression: Cheerful, lively, turbulent. so totally contrary to the last PE I had in the glass https://www.whiskybase.com/whiskies/whisky/16498/port-ellen-1983-dt

he is relative sharp. Some water and warm up for a long time is good for him. The nose is the best.

нос · вкус · финиш

Нос	92	A little closed. It comes delicate sweetness and something delicate maritime. Carefully smell freshly panned. Alcohol depresses. Due to warming comes after a while tart citrus notes and nice sea aromas.
Вкус	88	Immediately sweet and quickly peppery. It needs water and time in the glass. After a while it becomes more viscous in the mouth and it kicks salty notes and delicately bitter wood aromas. Pepperiness weakened with water. cute again More tart citrus.
Финиш	86	Dry, fading tart herbal and wood aromas. Better and longer finish with water. Herbal, herbal. Fading away, slightly sour wood aromas.

I’ve had this a few times though never side by side with the 20yo for a direct comparison. It’s Similar in structure and candied like the 20yo, with a Low lying base note of well integrated peat. It’s powerfully Petrolic with a coastal nature. It is also Lightly metallic but cleaner, more pristine and more coastal wheras the 20yo is dirtier and more earthy in some aspects. The finish is drier compared to 20 but has some nice bitter aromatic lemon pith in the finish. A good whisky but I prefer the 20 year old expression.

The nose is salty, ashy, with fruity sweetness. Very pleasant, balanced, rounded. The taste is obviously strong, but you can drink it without adding water. Again a similar set, as in the nose, although now the oakiness is somewhat more noticeable. The finish is long, warming. All in all a near perfect whisky. Deep, balanced, developing, there is nothing that spoils the impression

when, after a long(ish) wait the nose finally opens up, it is like stuffing my face in a warm apfel strudel served on the side of a road where tar has been poured fresh.. lemons, wax and more fresh apples sweet up front.. then peat.. a little salt.. fruity.. and absolutely no sight of alcohol.. although i feel it going straight to the pleasure centers in my brain pepper and ginger in the finish with a sprinkle of chardamom i will remember this dram for the incredible combination of delicate complexity and raw power
