A Port Ellen single malt bottled by McGibbon’s for the Provenance range, this 18 year old was distilled in 1981 and bottled in 2000 after maturation in sherry casks, bottled at 43% ABV.

Sherry cask maturation brings dried fruit richness, gentle spice and oak depth, complementing Port Ellen’s distinctive coastal character, where peat smoke, maritime notes and citrus brightness combine in a balanced and refined style. Produced from stocks of this now-closed Islay distillery, it represents an increasingly scarce example of Port Ellen’s classic house character.

Port Ellen (silent)
(Port-Ellen) As far as many people are concerned, Port Ellen is one of the great lost distilleries of Scotland. Port Ellen Whisky was founded in 1825 on the south shore of Port Ellen Islay by A. K. Mackay & Co. Closed in 1983 after being mothballed between 1930 and 1967. And with three Islay distilleries on the hands of the owners Port Ellen was the one to close with Caol Ila and Lagavulin surviving the 1980s closures.
