Port Ellen 18 Year Old 1980 - Authentic Collection (WM Cadenhead)

Tasting Notes

This is a true gem from the legendary Port Ellen Distillery on Islay, Scotland. Distilled in 1980, just a few years before the distillery closed its doors forever, this rare single malt was carefully aged for 18 years before being bottled in 1998 by the independent bottlers at WM Cadenhead. With only 312 bottles produced, it's a highly coveted and exclusive release. At a robust 62.2% ABV, this whisky packs a punch, offering an authentic taste of Islay's iconic peated spirit. Expect a complex and bold flavor profile, with layers of smoke, brine, and rich malt intertwined with hints of sea salt and coastal air, a true reflection of Islay's rugged terroir. A true treasure for whisky enthusiasts and collectors alike.
