Port Ellen Distillery

In 1983 the Port Ellen distillery was shut down and dismantled. Today the remaining Port Ellen stores and the malting facility are owned by Diageo.

The remaining Port Ellen whisky is in high demand partly since it is very good, but also because it will never be produced again.

The malting facility is still active under the name Port Ellen Maltings and supplies the other Islay distilleries with some of their malt. This part of the former distillery is likely to survive in an effort to conserve jobs on Islay.

The Rare Malts Selection

The Rare Malts are remarkable cask-strength single malt whiskies drawn from among the rarest, most precious stocks to survive in Scotland.

Often twenty or more years of age, the Rare Malts are so rare, many will never be seen again.

Connoisseurs will appreciate their full rich colour and enjoy their true depth of flavour, thanks to cask-strength bottling.
