The distillery was mothballed in the great whisky cull of 1983.
The site is now warehousing for DCLs' other Islay distilleries. It is also home of a large malt plant, which supplies the remaining distilleries on the island, thanks to an official agreement signed to secure employment for the island’s workforce.
Port Ellen has been closed for 24 years so bottlings of this rare and Iconic Islay malt are becoming very short in supply.
