Port Ellen 1982
Distilled November 1982
Bottled October 2018
35 Years Old Platinum Xtra Old Particular
70cl / 54.4%
Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Douglas Laing

Bottled to celebrate Douglas Laing’s platinum (70th) anniversary, this is a single-cask Port Ellen 35 Year Old with, as the indie bottler puts it, a ‘mouth-puckering palate of salt, tar, phenol, coal dust and mocha’.

Port Ellen was the favourite whisky of Douglas Laing’s founder and this edition, of which just 273 bottles are available, is a fitting tribute to his achievements.
