Lot number: 068-1459
Winning bid: £350
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.
This Port Ellen is from Douglas Laing's Provenance range. The range is all small batch bottlings and is un-chill filtered.
Distilled: Winter 1982
Bottled: Winter 2001
Age: 18 years
43% ABV / 70cl
Note condition of carton
Please examine all images of the lot, any packaging and labels carefully and satisfy yourself as to their condition before making a bid.
