Description
Port Ellen's 1983 vintage, aged 22 years in a single sherry cask, is a rare window into this now-closed Islay distillery's pre-closure character. The sherry maturation has mellowed the distillery's typical peat and brine with layers of dried fruit, warming spices, and subtle smoke. The texture is rich and coating, with the maritime character of Islay still visible beneath the sweet sherry influence. A significant release for whisky historians and collectors seeking examples from the distillery's final years.
