✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Port Ellen is one of the most legendary 'ghost' distilleries of Scotland, located on the south coast of Islay. Closed in 1983 during a period of industry downturn, its remaining stocks became highly coveted. The 15th Release, distilled in 1983 and bottled in 2015 at 32 years of age, represents some of the final spirit ever produced before the silent years. This iconic single malt is celebrated for its complex, elegant, and deeply maritime character, combining soft peat smoke, coastal brine, leather, and citrus oils. It is a liquid monument to Islay's distilling heritage, capturing a bygone era of production.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Port Ellen blev grundlagt i 1825 af Alexander Mackay på Islays sydkyst og står i dag som et af de mest ikoniske og ærefrygtindgydende navne i skotsk whiskyhistorie. Efter en række udvidelser under Distillers Company Limited (i dag Diageo) lukkede destilleriet under whiskybranchens krise i 1983. Det opnåede hurtigt en mytisk status som et såkaldt 'spøgelsesdestilleri', indtil det efter en gennemgribende og omhyggelig genopbygning genåbnede dørene i 2024. Port Ellen er verdenskendt for sin raffinerede, maritime profil, der forener elegant tørverøg, en fyldig, olieret tekstur, kystnær saltholdighed og fine nuancer af citrus. De historiske single malt-aftapninger er i dag blandt de mest eftertragtede og prestigefyldte samlerobjekter, der nogensinde er destilleret i Skotland.
