Description
Port Ellen's final vintage, distilled in 1983 and bottled in 1995 at 11 years old, captures the Islay distillery at its close—a historically significant dram now commanding premium prices. The spirit carries Port Ellen's characteristic coastal peat smoke with maritime salinity and briny depth, tempered by the lighter touch of a younger maturation. At 43% ABV, the texture remains elegant despite the intensity of character. Essential for Islay enthusiasts and those seeking a tangible piece of distilling history.
