Port Ellen 1983 27 Year Old Provenance

Distilled in 1983 at the now-silent Port Ellen distillery on Islay, this 27-year-old single malt embodies the character of a bygone era of Scotch whisky production. Matured for over two decades in a refill butt (cask 6042), it showcases the distillery’s signature smoky peat, balanced with a subtle sweetness developed through long-term maturation. Bottled in 2010 at 46% ABV, this expression offers a complex profile of maritime notes, gentle spice, and a lingering finish – a testament to Douglas Laing’s commitment to showcasing Scotland’s finest spirits. It represents a rare opportunity to experience the distinctive flavour of Port Ellen, a distillery highly regarded for its uniquely Islay character.
