Så er den her.

Mener bestemt det er den som er på Nettorvet lige nu. Det er godt nok et billede af 7th de har sat ind men specks passer med 8th.

Har reddet mig et par flasker...

Det er samme ABV og flaskantal - så det er sandsynligvis 8. release
Smagsnoterne er også på plads: (fra Whiskyfun)
Port Ellen 29 yo 1978/2008 8th Annual Release (55.3%, OB, 6,618 bottles) Already the eighth release! My! Feeling old over here"¦ Colour: pale gold. Nose: this one isn't extremely expressive either at first sniffing but there's still more peat and more maritime notes than in the 1982. It's also a bit yoghurty, lemony, ‘walnutty'"¦ With water: more walnuts, more apple peelings, whiffs of cold ashes and used matches. Just like in the 1982, more mint as well. Mouth (neat): powerful, very peaty but also kind of candied, maybe tasting a tad younger than it actually is. Dried pears, quince jelly, hints of marshmallows"¦ Then quite some mint, verbena and liquorice. Gets better after a moment, it's the attack that's maybe a tad less impressive than in earlier batches. With water: gets grassier, maybe a tad bitter and even slightly tannic. Finish: long, grassy, on apple peelings. Quite some pepper as well. Comments: very good but maybe not the best official Port Ellen in our opinion, we feel it somewhat lacks the notes of fresh tarmac and the zing that were so typical. Or, gran horror, are the best PE's gone for good? We may get the answer to this existential question in September 2009"¦ SGP:337 "“ 87 points (still!)
