About

Port Ellen 1979 5th Release is a distinguished single malt Scotch whisky hailing from the iconic Port Ellen distillery on the Isle of Islay, Scotland. This 25-year-old expression showcases the depth and complexity that Islay whiskies are renowned for, bottled at a cask strength of 57.40% ABV. On the palate, this whisky reveals layers of maritime brine, peaty smoke, and hints of dried fruit. The cask maturation imparts a rich, full-bodied character with notes of vanilla and honey, balanced by a gentle spice. The finish is long and warming, leaving a lingering impression of sea salt and smoke. Port Ellen whiskies are highly sought after, and this release exemplifies the distillery's legacy of producing exceptional spirits that are becoming increasingly rare on the market.
