Description

A bottle of Port Ellen 27 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky. This was distilled in November 1979 and bottled from a single cask at natural cask strength in January 2007 for Douglas Laing's Old & Rare Platinum Selection series.

This is one of 258 bottles.

Port Ellen was established as a malt mill in 1825 and later developed into a distillery by John Ramsay. The distillery closed in 1983, though the maltings continue to supply many of Islay's distilleries. Stocks of Port Ellen are still available and the whisky has become highly collectible since the distillery closed, though it is no longer part of Diageo's annual Special Releases. In 2017, Diageo announced that Port Ellen distillery is to be rebuilt in its original buildings, and would reopen in 2020.

This Port Ellen 1979 27 Year Old sold at our online auction for £525
