Port Ellen 1979 37 Year Old Goren’s Whisky Mini 4cl

Distilled in 1979 on the legendary Islay island, this Port Ellen 37 Year Old represents a vanishing legacy of a distillery steeped in history, originally established in 1824. Unique amongst its peers, Port Ellen favoured refill casks, resulting in a spirit known for its delicate character and avoiding heavy oak influence – a style that has proven to age with exceptional grace. Expect a complex and nuanced profile, hinting at Islay’s signature smoky peat alongside subtle sweetness and maritime notes, reflective of the distillery’s coastal location and early connections to Glasgow via steamer routes. Bottled in 2017 as a limited release of just 241 bottles for Whisky Live Tel-Aviv, this 44.8% ABV whisky offers a rare taste of a truly iconic and sadly silent distillery.
