Description
Hunter Laing's second Eidolon release, this 1982 Port Ellen represents some of the final whisky from the closed Islay distillery, matured for 40 years and bottled in 403 bottles. Port Ellen's legendary peated character, preserved from one year before the distillery's 1983 closure, now commands profound scarcity and historical significance.
