Port Ellen

Port Ellen, Islay, Scotland · Closed

Port Ellen is a legendary single malt distillery on the southern coast of Islay in Scotland. Originally closed in 1983, it has recently been reopened, generating huge excitement among whisky enthusiasts. Port Ellen is famed for its heavily peated, coastal style, combining smoky intensity with maritime brine, subtle fruit, and complex medicinal notes. Its rarity, historical significance, and the anticipation around new releases have made it one of the most sought-after names in the whisky world.

Excise duties

Added for delivery inside the EU

Excise duty is a tax on alcohol, separate from VAT, and it rises with the alcohol in the bottle. Each EU country sets its own rates, so if you live in the EU and win this lot, the duty of the destination country is added to your invoice. This is not optional.

Buying from outside the EU? Then no excise duty is added: the customs of your country take care of it.
