For many THE Islay malt, it has attained near cult status since the distillery was mothballed in 1983. The stills were shipped abroad in the early 1990s and the distillery was demolished shortly after. The warehouse is still there, allowing Diageo and independent bottlers to keep releasing bottles from an ever dwindling stock.

Single cask vintage Port Ellen for the 2008 Islay Festival which yielded approximately 220 bottles, each is individually numbered.

The first ever single cask distillery bottling from Port Ellen and therefore incredibly rare and collectible.
