PE3 is the third Port Ellen in the Elements-range. It differs from the PE1 and PE2 in the sense that this is from a bourbon cask. Hence the straw color. It is also a lot more expensive (retail was 215…

I cannot claim a lot of experience with Strathmill. It’s a whisky that is hardly to be found as a single malt and thus disappears into blends mostly. J&B and Dunhill, two blends that are not high on my…

This Longmorn was also bottled by Gordon & Macphail – albeit at 40% instead of 43%, as was the 30 Year Old – and taken from refill sherry casks. Both bottled look very much the same and the spirit is…
