- Description
- A rare 1982 Port Ellen selected by Giuseppe Gambi and bottled in 2003 at 21 years old, limited to 36 bottles for a specific Italian occasion. This closed Islay distillery's spirit carries the maritime, smoky character Port Ellen is known for, matured across two decades. The extreme scarcity and independent bottling provenance make this a collector's item rather than an everyday dram.
