Description

Any entry in the annual Diageo Special Release series is always highly coveted, but none more so than this beauty from the gone but not forgotten Port Ellen. This 12th Release was distilled way back in 1979 and matured for 32 years in American and European oak casks, bottled as a 52.5% time capsule that collectors clamber to get their hands on. Port Ellen Distillery ceased production in 1983. This whisky is part of the Diageo Rare Malts Series, and it is one of the final releases from the distillery’s remaining casks, making it a prized find for whisky collectors and connoisseurs alike.
