Port Ellen 1978 | 30 Year Old | Old & RareIslay Single Malt Scotch Whisky This is one of the few 1978s in this series of 30yo Port Ellens by Douglas Laing. The 78s were bigger and fatter with less white fruit or coastal zing and more peat, green, tropical and smoky qualities. This one is a pretty decent price considering the dram.
