This is a Port Ellen single malt from Islay, bottled by Gordon & MacPhail for their Connoisseurs Choice series. It was distilled in 1981 and bottled in 1999 at 40% ABV, after 18 years in a refill sherry butt. It comes in a 70cl bottle with a map label. Despite the sherry cask, the whisky has a light golden colour. Port Ellen is a closed distillery, which makes this a bottling from a finished chapter of Islay whisky. It is described as having gentle smoke, maritime salinity and a subtle citrus sweetness, with a velvety texture.

About Glenbotal

The idea of Glenbotal came to us naturally: as whisky lovers, we were always on the lookout for new experiences in the whisky world. That’s why we created Glenbotal and became our very own first customers. We buy unique and hard to find spirits from ballots and private collections. Then, we share them with a small circle of friends and people who can appreciate a good dram.
