Fèis Ìle 2008
Arguably one of the rarest official Port Ellen bottlings, this single cask was released for the Fèis Ìle in 2008 and sold out instantly. A 1981 vintage, this was the only official single cask offering from Port Ellen for a long time. It was distilled on 15th April 1981 and filled into refill American oak cask #1301.

Port Ellen
An Islay distillery that developed a cult status following its closure by Distillery Company in 1983. Originally only providing fillings for blends, its single had become hugely sought-after by the turn of the 21st century, so much so in fact that it was re-opened again by Diageo in 2024.
