Port Ellen 1978 27 Year Old 6th Release / Signed

The sixth edition of the incredibly popular Port Ellen annual releases.  Distilled in 1978 and bottled 27 years later in 2006, bottled at cask strength and limited to 4,560 bottles, this is bottle 1057.

Please note the signature on the front label from Ian 'Pinky' MacArthur, a long serving employee of Lagavulin and most likely the person responsible for filling the casks.

Port Ellen is the lost jewel in the Islay crown. Closure in 1983 has enabled this distillery to receive a near mythical amount of love and respect. As stocks get thinner on the ground, these bottles become rarer and rarer.

Please note there is some minor smudges on the front label.

 

Important Notice

We would recommend viewing/close inspection prior to placing any bids. If this is not an option and you have questions beyond the offered description and images, please contact us for a more in-depth condition report. Otherwise lots will be sold as seen in the images.

Please note: Due to the various ages of bottles and their seals, condition of liquid is at the buyer's discretion and no claim can be lodged against failure/leakage in transit.
