Port Ellen 1982 Connoisseurs Choice

Distilled in 1982 at the now-silent Port Ellen distillery on Islay, this single malt from Gordon & MacPhail’s esteemed Connoisseurs Choice range offers a rare glimpse into a legendary spirit. Pioneered by George Urquhart in the 1960s, this bottling showcases Port Ellen as a single malt – a bold move when most of its production went into blends. Expect a complex character, hinting at the distillery’s coastal origins with smoky peat, brine, and a subtle sweetness. Bottled in 2003 at 40% ABV, this whisky represents a treasured piece of Islay’s history.
