Cuvée presentation

A single cask of Port Ellen distilled in 1982, aged in a sherry cask and bottled in 2015. Hunter Laing was founded in 2013 by Stewart Laing, who co-ran his father’s business, Douglas Laing, with his brother Fred before their paths diverged. His two sons, Andrew and Scott, quickly joined the family business, where their company Edition Spirits merged with their father’s. Stewart Laing worked at Bruichladdich when he was younger and dreamt of opening a distillery in Islay. He was finally able to realise this dream in 2016 when he built Ardnahoe, where Jim McEwan manages the production process. A limited edition of 108 bottles.

The distillery Port Ellen

Scotland, Isle of Islay. Distillery operational. Owner: Diageo

Single-handedly kept afloat by the leading players in the independent bottlers market until the early 21st century, Port Ellen owes its salvation to the growing fervour of fans of peated whiskies. Like many distilleries a victim of the 1980s recession, Port Ellen closed in May 1983, never to distil again. It was in 1998, 15 years after its closure, that its owners bottled two limited versions, one celebrating the 25th anniversary of the eponymous maltings, and the other for the Rare Malts Selection. It would then not be until the turn of the millennium that Port Ellen would be awarded a finally crafted regular bottling, focusing on the years of production 1978 and 1979.Paradoxically, the youngest versions are the hardest to find, such as the Signatory Vintage Black Ceramic 10 Year Old and 13 Year Old. Although most were bottled at 40-43%, they still offer the chance to experience the spirit's profile without the wood having too much influence. In any case, the oldest vintage still available today from a handful of collectors is a Port Ellen distilled in 1967 or 1968 (the distillery was mothballed from 1929 to 1 April 1968), aged 12 years old and produced to mark the Queen's visit to the distillery on 9 August 1980.
