Jim Murray's Best Single Malt Scotch | 35-40 Years Multiple Cask The oldest ever release from Port Ellen! Known around the world as one of the most iconic whisky distilleries, Port Ellen 9 Rogue Casks has been created by Master Blender Craig Wilson. Marrying 9 rare casks of 40 year old whisky that lay hidden in warehouses waiting to be discovered. Nine stories that have come together to create one unique and momentous malt.
