- Description
- This 1983 vintage from the now-closed Port Ellen distillery was bottled at 14 years old by independent bottler Hart Brothers, representing a snapshot of the distillery's peaty Islay character from four decades past. Port Ellen's maritime smokiness, oily texture, and mineral depth should be pronounced at this age and proof. A rare collectible for Islay enthusiasts and those seeking a historical record of one of Scotland's most mythologized distilleries.
