PORT ELLEN 40 ans 1979 D.Laing 49,6%
Single Malt Whisky, Scotland / Islay, 70cl, Ref: 57676
This venerable Port Ellen distilled in 1979 has aged 40 years in second-fill sherry butt casks. Proud of its origins, it has an incredible Port Ellen profile! Oily peat, hay, exotic fruit, camphor and liquorice mingle and combine to form one of the most complex and pleasant aromatic palates. A limited edition of 299 bottles. Xtra Old Particular is a range of single malts and single grain Scotch over 18 years old. The casks are carefully selected and then bottled as a single cask at their natural strength and without chill filtering. Every bottle is a discovery of the most extraordinary things Scotland has to offer.

The brand
Built in 1824 in the south of the Isle of Islay, Port Ellen was the site of numerous technological experiments that revolutionised the whisky industry in the 20th century. Closed between 1930 and 1969, it opened a malting centre on its site in 1973 tasked with supplying all the distilleries on the island with smoky malted barley. Again closed in 1983, Port Ellen lost its production licence in 1992 and, with it, all hope of ever producing whisky again. At the beginning of the millennium, the majority of its buildings were knocked down, leaving only the pagodas and warehouses. Though the end of the 90s and the beginning of the millennium were a prosperous time for single cask, cask strength versions from independent bottlers, this very iodine and smoky malt has become increasingly rare over the last five years.

Merchant
Established in Glasgow in 1948 by Fred Douglas Laing, the Douglas Lang company has, in recent years, made numerous changes to its structure. Fred Laing’s movement to the head of the company has contributed towards the business’s sound reputation. Known throughout the industry for the quality and variety of its cask selection (Douglas Laing still has casks from the most prestigious distilleries: Glenfarclas, Talisker, Ardbeg, etc.), the company has expanded its already rich range that includes historic selections such as Double Barrel, Premier Barrel and Director’s Cut, with two new collections guaranteed to please connoisseurs: Single Minded and Old Particular.
