About this Item

Port Ellen
Douglas Laing's Old & Rare Platinum Selection, 30 Year Old
1 (1 x 1) 750ml

Port Ellen Distillery was established by Alexander K. Mackay on the southern coast of the Isle of Islay at Port Ellen in 1825. Port Ellen was a malt whisky distillery but closed in 1983. This is one of the most lusted-after distilleries in the whisky world, and it's certainly the most lusted-after closed distillery in the whisky world.

An independent bottling of 'ghost distillery' Port Ellen from Douglas Laing's beautifully presented Old & Rare series. Not something you see everyday! A 1982 vintage release of Port Ellen whisky. This whisky has been matured for 30 years in a refill hogshead and bottled at cask strength. These official Port Ellens are now more of a showpiece, something to be collected, traded, and admired from a safe distance, more like rare art than bottles of whisky.
