- Description
- Distilled at Port Ellen in spring 1983 and matured in a single sherry butt before bottling in 2010, this is an approachable expression of the now-closed Islay distillery. Sherry cask influence brings sweetness and rich oak to the fore, softening the typical peppery smoke of Port Ellen's make. A gentler take on Islay character, suited to those who appreciate smoke without aggression.
