This limited Port Ellen from Douglas Laing was distilled in 1979 and aged for 40 years in refill butt #DL13800 before being bottled in 2020 with a yield of just 299 bottles.

XOP The Black Series was created by Douglas Laing to showcase their super-premium single cask releases.

The bottles are presented in a sleek black moleskin box with an accompanying certificate.


Official Tasting Notes
Nose: Like a gently burnt scone initially, followed by the softest peated barley and brown sugar.
Palate: An eclectic mix of fudge, spices, chewed leather, more subtle peat and a saline quality with late cool dust and ash.
Finish: Amplifies all those earlier subtleties with the emphasis on big-hitting spices, smoke, iodine, and phenolic charm.
