- Description
- Distilled in 1983 during Port Ellen's final year of operation and bottled in 1996 by Italian specialist Corsini, this Islay whisky captures a poignant moment in Scottish whisky history. The profile shows mature peat smoke, brine, and developing leather notes alongside the distillery's characteristic drying mineral quality. After nearly a decade in cask, the spirit exhibits composure and depth uncommon in younger peated expressions. This is essential for serious collectors and those seeking a tangible piece of Port Ellen's legacy.
