For many THE Islay malt. Has attained near cult status. Port Ellen distillery was mothballed in 1983, then demolished. The warehouse is still there, allowing Diageo to release annual bottlings. No more whisky can be made, however, so these are incredibly sought after.
This is the eighth annual release.
Distilled: 1978
Bottled: 2008
Age: 29 years old
55.3% ABV / 70cl
Bottle Number: 5715 of 6618
