About Port Ellen
One of the most legendary names in Islay whisky — mothballed in 1983, its 1970s and early-80s bottlings became some of the most collectable Scotch ever. Diageo reopened the rebuilt distillery in 2024 with new stills running alongside a restoration of the original buildings; new-make spirit is now quietly maturing for future releases.
