Informations: This bottling of a 16-year-old Port Ellen single malt was produced by independent bottler Gordon & MacPhail in the Connoisseurs Choice series, here with the brown label that was used between 1980 and 1988. The whisky was distilled in 1970.

Distillery: Port Ellen: The distillery was founded in 1825 and taken over by John Ramsay in 1836. Whisky history was reportedly made here with the first use of patent & coffey stills and a spirit safe. It was closed from 1929 to 1966, and only a few years after its renovation it was closed again in 1983. The buildings are now listed and preparations are being made to bring it back into use.
Region: Islay: Islay is the most famous of the Scotch whisky islands. It is often referred to as the queen among them. The majority of Islay's single malts have a wonderfully peaty, smoky, strong flavour - flavours for which Islay whisky is so loved.
Country: Scotland: Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.

Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.

Condition: Please look very carefully at all the pictures, especially the labels and pack, and satisfy yourself as to their condition before bidding.
