Port Ellen, Gemini Remnant
Port Ellen Gemini Remnant was finished in an original Port Ellen remnant cask, historically used to assess new-make spirit after filling. The cask’s long contact with multiple vintages introduces a layered and idiosyncratic profile. The whisky shows greater complexity and contrast, with subtle shifts in smoke, sweetness and savory notes shaped by the cask’s history. More experimental in nature, it offers a singular expression that reflects Port Ellen’s past through an unorthodox but deeply symbolic vessel.

Maritime aromas lead once again, with sea salt joined by dried pear, buttercream and a faint dryness from cigar smoke. Orange zest, butterscotch and vanilla shape the palate with pepper and coastal smoke adding weight. The finish stays smoky with a bright citrus lift.
