- Description
- Port Ellen's 1983 spirit represents the final chapter of a legendary Islay distillery, closed that same year and now highly sought by enthusiasts. Fourteen years in a sherry butt have layered dried fruit, maritime smoke, and spiced oak into a complex whole, with the richness expected from quality cask interaction. Essential for serious collectors and those wanting a tangible piece of whisky history.
