Port Ellen Douglas Laing & Co. Ltd. d. November 1982, b. July 2009 26 years old cask no. DL Ref 5157 50% Vol, 700 ml

Distilled in November 1982 at the now-silent Port Ellen distillery on Islay, this single malt matured for 26 years under the care of Douglas Laing & Co. before being bottled in July 2009. A testament to a bygone era of Islay whisky-making, it presents a robust character typical of Port Ellen – expect a smoky intensity interwoven with notes of sea salt, citrus, and a subtle sweetness. Bottled at cask strength (50% Vol), this 700ml expression delivers a powerful and complex flavour profile, reflecting the unique maritime environment of its origin. It’s a rare opportunity to experience a piece of Islay’s distilling heritage.
