- Description
- This 1982 Port Ellen, bottled in 2001 by Gordon & MacPhail under their Connoisseurs Choice label, represents a rare window into the closed Islay distillery's younger stocks. Port Ellen ceased production in 1983, making any sub-20-year expression a collectible snapshot of the distillery's final decade.
