For many, Port Ellen is THE Islay malt. The distillery was mothballed in 1983, then demolished. The warehouse is still there, allowing Diageo to release annual bottlings, of which this is the ninth. No more can be made, so these are incredibly sought after.

Distilled: 1979

Bottled: 2009

Age: 30 years old

57.7% ABV / 70cl
