✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Port Ellen is one of the most legendary 'ghost' distilleries in Scotland, having closed its doors in 1983 during a downturn in the whisky industry, only to be resurrected in 2024. This incredibly rare 24-year-old single malt was specially selected and bottled in 2002 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Whisky Shop. Matured in a single Sherry cask, this expression represents a holy grail for collectors, showcasing the sublime marriage of Port Ellen's signature industrial, maritime peat smoke with the deep, dried-fruit complexity, leather, and warming spice imparted by European oak. The historic Islay terroir, characterized by windswept peat bogs and salty sea air, is vividly preserved in this liquid time capsule.
🍾 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.
