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: 1667 of 6618

Please examine the images of the bottle, packaging and labels carefully and satisfy yourself as to their condition before making a bid.
