- Description
- Port Ellen's 1983 vintage represents one of the final distillations before the Islay distillery's closure that same year, aged 22 years in ex-Sherry cask #2251 and bottled at 46% by McGibbon's. Port Ellen's signature maritime peat character is tempered by rich Sherry influence, creating a rare balance between smoke and dried fruit complexity. The texture is substantial and layered, with a finish that integrates peat smoke and wine-wood warmth. An essential release for Islay enthusiasts seeking a vanished distillery's final chapter.
