The moment Islay fans have been waiting for is finally upon us. Port Ellen distillery has reopened its doors after years of anticipation. To mark this occasion, the distillery has released a pair of whiskies that not only honor its past but also set the tone for what we can expect from future releases. As a whisky enthusiast, I am excited to explore these new releases and what they mean for the future of the industry.
A New Era for Port Ellen
Port Ellen Gemini is a pair of whiskies that showcase the distillery’s commitment to quality and innovation. The first, Port Ellen Gemini Original, was matured purely in European Oak Butts for 44 years. The second, Port Ellen Gemini Remnant, spent the final years of its 44-year maturation in a completely original finishing cask, known as the remnant cask. This parallel maturation has created two whiskies that showcase elements all whisky enthusiasts can appreciate.
