Port Ellen 1979 / 37 Year Old / 17th Release (2017) Islay Whisky

This remarkable 37-year-old single malt is the 17th release from the legendary Port Ellen distillery, a bottling that has become a holy grail for collectors and connoisseurs alike. Distilled in 1979 and bottled in 2017, it offers a rare chance to experience the elegant, refined character of Islay’s lost distillery. The whisky begins with light, sweet fruit notes that gradually deepen into earthier, oakier layers, finishing with the signature gentle, dry smokiness that defined Port Ellen’s style. A truly balanced and complex dram that evolves beautifully in the glass.
