The Port Ellen 40 Years Old 1979/2020 ‘9 Rogue Casks’ is an impressive rarity from the famous Port Ellen distillery on Islay. This exceptional special edition was distilled in 1979 and bottled in 2020 after a full 40 years of maturation.

Limited to just 1,380 bottles worldwide, this fine single malt whisky is a true collector’s item and a highlight for whisky lovers.

The elaborate packaging emphasises its exclusivity: to open the elegant gift box, you need two special keys, which are stored in a small drawer in the lower half. With an alcohol content of 50.9% ABV, this 40-year-old Port Ellen reveals its deep, maritime aromas, which perfectly reflect the character of this historic distillery. An exceptional whisky that embodies a piece of whisky history and offers discerning connoisseurs an incomparable tasting experience.
