Port Ellen 1982 / 26 Year Old / Cask #4808 / Old Malt Cask Islay Whisky

A 1982 vintage Port Ellen from one of the distillery's final years, bottled at 50% from a single cask by Douglas Laing. At £1,200, it carries the weight of Islay provenance and twenty-six years of patience — and mostly justifies both.
