Colour: very pale white wine. Nose: completly different from the Silver Seal, much fruitier and much less tarry and smoky. Rather Caolila-esque (wot?) Apples, sea air and porridge. Not quite the most spectacular PE ever. Mouth: better than on the nose. Stewed fruits, apple compote, salted fish and just a little cardboard. Wee metallic notes (old silver spoon). Finish: long, almondy and very salty. Comments: good Port Ellen but lacks a little consistency. Cask #2469 by the same bottlers and issued in 2007 as well was waaaay better in my opinio
