Port Ellen 1979/2009 30yo 57,7% Single Malt The Port Ellen 1979 30yo 57,7% Single Malt is one of the most anticipated in Diageo's annual special releases. Limited to 5,916 bottles, this whisky hails from the iconic distillery, which closed in 1983. And it is worth knowing that Port Ellen, known for pioneering whisky exports to America, introduced the first spirit safe in 1824 and Scotland’s first one-site duty-free bonded warehouse in 1848.
