Port Ellen 35 Year Old 1983 (Release No.11535) – The Stories of Wind & Wave (The Character of Islay Whisky Company)

The Character of Islay Whisky Company’s Wind & Wave independent bottling series is all about showing off the glorious whiskies from the eponymous island, and this one is particularly glorious indeed. It’s a single malt from the legendary Port Ellen Distillery! It was distilled back in 1983 (the same year that it closed), and has been matured for 35 years before being bottled up at 47.9% ABV. A rare, exciting opportunity to taste the whisky from Port Ellen, a distillery that has been missed for many moons (though it will soon be opening its doors once again!).
