- Description
- Port Ellen's spring 1982 distillation, bottled in 2002 as an independent cask by McGibbons, captures the final years of this legendary Islay distillery before its closure. Matured for 19 years in ex-bourbon, this single cask offers the classic Port Ellen profile of briny peat, maritime smoke, and subtle sweetness. The texture is oily and complex, with a long, warming finish. Essential for Islay devotees seeking an authentic snapshot of the distillery's character.
