✦ Neatly Summary

Port Ellen 1979 / 28 Year Old / 7th Release (2007) Islay Whisky is a from Port Ellen (United Kingdom), bottled at 40% ABV. Expect intensely smoky, oaky and peaty character — smokey, medicinal, leathery, old wood. Best suited for experienced drinkers who enjoy bold, complex whiskies. A collector's expression at a premium price point.

Port Ellen's 1979 distillate represents one of the final releases from Diageo's closed Islay distillery, bottled at cask strength in 2007 after 28 years in ex-bourbon wood. The closed distillery's output has become increasingly scarce, with each annual release attracting serious collectors. This seventh release maintains the character Port Ellen is known for: maritime peat, briny complexity, and the distinctive funky, sulphurous notes that defined the distillery's spirit. Allocated bottles disappear quickly, making this a landmark addition to any serious Islay collection.
