Port Ellen 1981 42 Year #290

Port Ellen 1981 42 Year Old – Recollection Series 3 #290 | Legendary Islay from a Closed Distillery

The Port Ellen 1981 42 Year Old Recollection Series 3 #290 is an exceptional single cask release from one of Islay’s most iconic closed distilleries. Distilled in 1981 and matured for 42 years, this whisky represents a rare opportunity to own a piece of whisky history.

Drawn from cask #290, this expression reflects a single, unrepeatable maturation journey shaped over four decades. As the whisky aged, its powerful Islay character evolved into something more refined—where smoke, oak, and subtle sweetness are fully integrated.

Unlike younger peated whiskies, long-aged Port Ellen expressions are known for their balance. Expect a layered profile with gentle maritime notes, soft smoke, dried fruits, spice, and a long, elegant finish that develops gradually.

What makes this bottle truly significant is its origin. With the original Port Ellen distillery closed for decades, remaining stock is finite. Each release reduces what is left, making bottles like this increasingly scarce and valuable.

This is more than a whisky—it is a collector-grade release combining rarity, age, and historical importance.

✔ Distilled in 1981 and aged 42 years
