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 generally at a healthy 46% ABV. As usual with Douglas Laing's whiskies, they are un-chill filtered.
