Port Ellen 1983 30 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

About Port Ellen 1983 30 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Port Ellen 1983 Single Malt Scotch Whisky (Duncan Taylor Bottling) was distilled at Port Ellen in 1983, making it some of the last whisky ever produced at the distillery (Port Ellen was mothballed later that year). Aged for 30 years and bottled at cask strength (104 proof), this rare bottling is uncut, unfiltered and encased in a wooden tantalus worthy of the spirit it contains.

This exceptional whisky has a golden wheat hue and an aroma of caramel, peat bogs, hay and fresh apples. The palate is at once light and full of character, with notes of peaches, almonds and mint giving way to a smooth, dry finish characterized by raisins, marmalade and breakfast cake.

Only a few of these bottles will ever be made available for purchase — be sure to pick one up today!

About Scotch

Scotch is the most popular whisky in the world and is considered the king of them all! There are five whisky regions in Scotland (six if you count the not officially recognized Islands), and each of them produces spirits with unique properties and distinct tasting notes. (The type of grain used determents the type of the scotch.)

Malt whisky is made of malted barley, and grain whisky uses other grains like corn or wheat. Most of the time, a whisky is blended from different distilleries hence the name blended scotch, but if a malt whisky is produced in a single distillery, we get something extraordinary called a single malt.
