- Description
- Port Ellen, the shuttered Islay distillery now legendary among collectors, produced this 1983 vintage during its final operational years. Bottled at 14 years old by Hart Brothers, it captures the distillery's signature waxy, maritime character with dried fruit and subtle peat. The palate is elegant and restrained, refusing to shout despite its rarity. This is a whisky for serious collectors seeking a tangible piece of Islay history.
