Many of the Single Malt Whiskies in Gordon & MacPhail's Rare Old range will never be seen again. They're whiskies from another era - some are from distilleries no longer in operation, others from distilleries that no longer exist.

Tasting Notes
Port Ellen 1979 Producer Tasting Notes
Subtle sherry influences with hints of beeswax polish, charred oak and underlying peppered kipper notes. The palate offers peat smoke with a touch of black pepper. Sweet fruit flavours develop to reveal green apples, pear and lime.
