✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Port Ellen remains one of the most legendary names in the annals of Scotch whisky. Closed during the industry downturn of 1983, its remaining stocks became legendary, ghostly relics of a bygone era of Islay production. This ultra-rare 32-year-old expression, curated under the prestigious 'Old & Rare Platinum Selection' by independent bottler Douglas Laing, was distilled during the distillery's historic peak in the late 1970s and bottled in 2012. It represents the pinnacle of Islay's coastal alchemy, where decades of slumber in oak casks near the salt-sprayed shores of the south coast have softened the distillery's famously robust peat smoke into an incredibly complex tapestry of oily citrus, soft leather, damp soot, and maritime brine.
🍾 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.
