Refill butt
This is a 40 year old Port Ellen single malt from Douglas Laing's Xtra Old Particular Black Series. It was distilled in 1979 and aged for 40 years in a single refill butt, then bottled in January 2020 at 49.6%. Just 299 bottles were produced. Port Ellen, on Islay, was established in the 1820s, first as a malt mill and a few years later as a distillery. It was mothballed in 1983, although its maltings still supply the other Islay distilleries.

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.
