Introducing Port Ellen Gemini

Port Ellen Gemini, the oldest ever Single Malt Scotch Whisky released directly from Port Ellen, was created to mark the reopening of this legendary distillery this March. Closed for over forty years. The set of two bottles, of which there are just 274, draws on the magic of Port Ellen distillery’s past for future generations. The 44-Year-Old whisky was drawn from three exceptional 1978 European oak casks, specifically selected long ago for this new experiment, before being split into two whiskies which took diverging paths of maturation. Register your interest to purchase Gemini now by visiting Diageo Rare & Exceptional.
