Distilled in May 1981 at the now-silent Port Ellen distillery on Islay, this whisky matured for nearly two decades in a refill sherry butt, bottled in July 2000. Expect a powerful 59.4% ABV expression showcasing the signature smoky peat and maritime character of Port Ellen, deepened by the influence of sherry cask maturation.

A rare glimpse into a legendary Islay distillery’s past, this single malt embodies the unique terroir of its origin.
