Port Ellen 11th Annual Release 1979 32 Year Old

Distilled in 1979 on the legendary Islay island, this Port Ellen 11th Annual Release matured for 32 years to become a highly sought-after expression of a lost distillery. Originally established in 1824, Port Ellen was known for a distinctive character achieved through maturation in refill American oak casks – resulting in a spirit less heavily influenced by oak than many of its peers. This 53.9% ABV whisky offers a complex and evolving taste profile, reflecting the unique coastal environment and the distillery’s history. A testament to a bygone era, this bottling from 2012 represents a rare opportunity to experience the enduring legacy of Port Ellen.
