Port Ellen Official Collection
Here we have a complete collection of all official annual releases (to present, 2016) 1 through 16.
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.
A spectacular chance to own all 16.
