Port Ellen 24Years Old - 3rd release 1979 (700ml)

Port Ellen 24 Year Old 3rd Release 1979 – The Islay distillery time made legendary

The Port Ellen 24 Year Old, 3rd Release, distilled in 1979, is one of the most sought-after and contested whiskies in the world. With the distillery closed since 1983 and stocks dwindling year on year, every bottle of Port Ellen that reaches the market is an absolute rarity. The 3rd Release is among the first that revealed the greatness of this Islay to the world.

On the nose, the Port Ellen 24 Year Old offers perfumed, intense Islay peat, sea salt, white flowers, citrus and an elegant oak base. On the palate, the texture is silken and surprisingly light for such a smoky whisky, with the characteristic balance that sets Port Ellen apart from every other Islay. The finish is exceptionally long and floral.
