- Port Ellen's November 1982 distillate spent 35 years in refill wood before being bottled at 54.4% ABV without chill-filtration, yielding just 273 bottles for Douglas Laing's Xtra Old Particular Platinum series. From a long-closed Islay distillery, this represents a significant expression of Port Ellen's peated, maritime character preserved over decades.
