The Port Ellen 1979 9 Rogue Casks 40yo is a limited-edition single malt whisky from the renowned Port Ellen distillery, which was tragically closed in 1983. This exquisite release is the oldest and most exclusive to date, with only 1,380 bottles available worldwide. Distilled in 1979, this whisky has matured for an impressive 40 years in nine rare casks discovered in two separate warehouses and united by the master distiller. The cask selection includes four American Oak Hogsheads and five European Oak Butts, each contributing its own distinctive character to the blend.
On the nose, this whisky is delicate, offering mild smoke complemented by burnt orange, fresh herbs, and a grassy note. The palate reveals a more pronounced smokiness, alongside rich leather, pipe tobacco, and a gentle wood spice. The finish is long and satisfying, with a wisp of smoke lingering at the end.
This whisky is special not only because of its age and rarity but also as it represents a unique piece of Port Ellen's storied history. With the distillery set to re-open in 2021, this limited edition is highly sought after by whisky connoisseurs worldwide. The whisky is presented in an elegant case, under lock and key, making it a truly special and exclusive purchase.
