Port Ellen - which one?

[boven]

I'm thinking about buying a couple of bottles of Port Ellen, but I haven't actually tasted that many different bottlings. The Whisky Exhange has quite a few around £80-£90, does anyone have a healthy tip for me?

If they have bottlings from 1979 and 1982 i would recommand these,but it also depending who the bottler is and what woodtype they used.David Laing,Gordon&MacPhail and Cadenhead have some good ones.

Thanks. They have a couple of 79'ers by Douglas Laing, is that what you meant? Or is there a David Laing as well?

Yeah sorry ment Douglas,must have swapped names .
A very good,if not the best(my opinion)bottler.Good luck and enjoy your purchase.

Hi Boven

I have had a few Douglas Laing Port Ellen bottlings in the past and can highly recommend them from Douglas Laing. In fact i can say any bottling i have ever had from Douglas Laing has been special. I dont think you will go wrong with whatever ones you choose.

If you can stretch the extra mile - go for one of the distillery releases - 4th or 6th still seem decent value - but they are well over the £100 mark
