Product details
Port Ellen 32 Year Old 1983 15th Release is a rare Islay single malt issued as part of Diageo’s 2015 Special Releases collection. Created from selections dating to 1983, the final year of production before the historic Port Ellen site closed, this 32-year-old release represents an important chapter in the name’s celebrated legacy. Its extended maturation gives the expression remarkable depth and complexity, while characteristic maritime Islay qualities are joined by layered notes of cinnamon, orange, leather, and a distinctive bonfire-like character. Rich, contemplative, and firmly structured, the 15th Release offers collectors a compelling glimpse into Port Ellen’s historic style.
The aromatic profile is complex and inviting, with cinnamon and orange unfolding alongside leather and bonfire-like nuances. On the palate, pronounced peat and charred wood character arrive first, gradually giving way to gentle sweetness and warming spice. Generous fruit and spice add further dimension before the profile develops into an exceptionally long and persistent finish.
