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, so these are incredibly sought after.
This, the First Annual Release, is the one that started it all.
Distilled: 1979
Bottled: 2001
Age: 22 years old
56.2% ABV / 70cl
Bottle Number: 1387 / 6000
Please examine the images of the bottle, packaging and labels carefully and satisfy yourself as to their condition before making a bid.
