Port Ellen 32 Year Old 1979 12th Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky – 70cl 52.5% ABV
Discover one of the most prestigious and collectible whiskies ever released with the Port Ellen 32 Year Old 1979 12th Release Single Malt Scotch Whisky – 70cl 52.5% ABV. Distilled in 1979 and matured for an extraordinary 32 years, this ultra-rare Islay single malt represents the pinnacle of whisky craftsmanship from the legendary Port Ellen Distillery, one of Scotland's most iconic closed distilleries.
Released as the highly acclaimed 12th Annual Release, this exceptional expression showcases the elegant and sophisticated character that has made Port Ellen one of the most sought-after names in the whisky world. Bottled at 52.5% ABV, it delivers remarkable depth, complexity, and balance, combining refined peat smoke, coastal influence, citrus fruits, oak spice, and mature whisky richness.
Following the closure of Port Ellen in 1983, remaining stocks became increasingly scarce, transforming every annual release into a coveted collector's item. The 1979 12th Release is particularly revered among whisky investors and enthusiasts due to its advanced age statement, limited availability, and outstanding reputation as one of the finest mature Islay whiskies ever bottled.
