Port Ellen Distillery
Diageo announced the reopening of Port Ellen way back in 2017 and fans of the distillery have been waiting excitedly since then. Port Ellen Distillery finally reopened in March 2024, an event that was much celebrated by the distillery’s cult following.
When Port Ellen closed in 1983 its original stills were lost, something that has been a big point of contention for those longing for Port Ellen’s signature style. The new distillery, however, features two pairs of stills. One pair, ‘The Phoenix Stills’ have been created from the blueprints of the original Port Ellen stills, reviving the distillery’s long-lamented style of whisky distillation. The second pair, ‘The Experimental Stills’ will allow Port Ellen to experiment with new distillation techniques as it moves into this new era.
Douglas Laing
Douglas Laing is one of very few whisky companies in Scotland that is still family-run; it was founded by Fred Douglas Laing in 1948 and is now under the leadership of Fred Laing and his daughter Cara. It is under this leadership that the company has moved towards bottling single malts in the UK rather than exporting elsewhere. Today, Douglas Laing has bottled whiskies from the likes of Brora, Ardbeg, and Port Ellen.
