1975 SS 25y

About

Port Ellen is a legendary closed distillery on the Scottish island of Islay, operating from 1825 until 1983. This rare 1975 SS, bottled by Silver Seal, represents a piece of Islay whisky history. After 25 years of maturation, this single malt has developed a complex, compelling character that perfectly embodies Port Ellen's classic profile. The nose reveals seductive layers of sweet barley sugar, meaty peat, and umami depth, complemented by notes of apple chutney, grass, and light tobacco leaf. On the palate, savory, fleshy tones emerge with a fine balance between smoke and fruit. The finish is marked by salty nuances, peppery spice, and a subtle maritime quality characteristic of Islay's coastal heritage.
