Port Ellen 1983 / 25 Year Old / Sherry Cask #4562 / Provenance Islay Whisky

A 25-year-old sherry cask Port Ellen from 1983 — the year the distillery fell silent. At 46% and bottled under the Provenance label, cask #4562 is a composed, increasingly rare piece of Islay history that justifies serious attention and most of its £1,500 asking price.
