Port Ellen 1982 Parkers
Port Ellen 1982 Parkers
Port Ellen is the lost jewel in the Islay crown, closed down by DCL (now Diageo) in 1983 due to an oversupply of peated whisky for blending and a perceived lack of interest in it as a single malt.
It has rightly developed a legendary status in the years since.
A very rare 12 year old bottled for attendees of the visit of Queen Elizabeth II in 1980 is believed to have been the only distillery bottling produced in its years of operation. Diageo have bottled more since, but it is the independent companies that have given the whisky world the best chance to sample this sought after single malt.
This example weas distilled in 1982 and bottled in 2007 by Parkers Whisky of Banff.
134 of 220 bottles.
