- Description
- This exceptional bottling pairs two refill butts from Port Ellen's final year of distillation in 1983, released through Douglas Laing's Provenance series at 23 years old and 46% ABV. The spirit captures the distillery's classic Islay character—maritime peat smoke, briny minerality, and subtle orchard fruit—preserved through decades of careful aging. A rare opportunity to taste one of Scotland's most revered closed distilleries at full maturity.
