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 sixth annual release.

Distilled: 1978

Bottled: 2006

Age: 27 years

54.2% ABV / 70cl

Bottle Number: 2781 of 4560 bottles.

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