There has come new out around the distillery, the Port ellen’s re-opening. There will bl.a. get two destilleringsenheder, so that can be tested in a higher degree. The original distillery opened in 1824 and the plan is to restore the whole of the original distillery, however, extending the distillation to two separate compartments. One room will have boilers similar to the original, while the second will have smaller boilers in order to produce a different kind of liquor to be able to experiment more with the style. You expect to be able to open the Port Ellen in 2021, while you can expect the first bottles on the market around 2032, perhaps before, according to Diageo.
It was in 2017 that Diageo announced that there will be invested more than 300 million. kr. to get Port Ellen and Brora distillery back into production. Port Ellen is on the island of Islay where a number of the world’s most well-known distilleries are located, among other things, Ardbeg and set in new york city. Brora is located in the highlands on the east coast of Scotland in Sutherland.
the Distilleries were closed back in 1983 due to the global decline in the sales of whisky. But since then the whisky, which has been stored in casks from two distilleries remained in demand among collectors and are today among the most expensive in the world.
