Despite having closed in 1983, Port Ellen is still one of Islay’s best-known distilleries. Relatively unknown while in operation, its reputation since closing has blossomed, with expressions commanding hefty hammer prices at auction. In 2017 owner Diageo announced plans to revive the distillery, undertaking painstaking work to recreate the distillery as accurately as possible, even employing former Port Ellen employees to assist in the project.
A condition report is offered as an indication of any issues visible to the naked eye. As none of our staff is a professional conservator or restorer, buyers must satisfy themselves in respect of condition. The condition report does not form part of any contract between McTear's and the buyer, and all lots are offered "as is" in accordance with our Terms of Business available on our website.
