Product Description

Single refill butt cask 6101. 27 year old from the final year of distillation at Port Ellen distillery. Distilled Spring 1983 & bottled Spring 2010. Port Ellen Port Ellen Distillery was established by Alexander K. Mackay on the southern coast of the Isle of Islay at Port Ellen in 1825. Port Ellen was a malt whisky distillery but closed in 1983 & whilst the distillery buildings remain Port Ellen drum maltings occupy part of the site & participates in Feis Ile, the annual Islay Festival of Malt & Music. Most recent official bottling of Port Ellen single malt whisky was the Port Ellen 11th Release. During the winter of 1823-24 James Fox tested his newly designed spirit safe at Port Ellen Distillery prior to its introduction in all Scottish licenced distilleries by 1825 in order to comply with enactment of the Excise Act of 1823. Thus Port Ellen Distillery was the first Scottish distillery to install a spirit safe & James Fox was paid £428 for his work. The nose is fresh & clean, developing to a salty, oceanic style & runs to sweet smoke & burnt citrus peel. The palate is well balanced between sweet & smokey elements, then a mentholated quality appears which carries to a soft tar character. The finish is long, sweetly smoked with a salty, leathery quality.
