Description

Port Ellen 1978 24 Year Old 2nd Annual Release 70cl (USA LOT). After the closure in 1983, Port Ellen distillery still has the respect and status among collectors and drinkers alike. This is the 2nd release of the incredibly popular Port Ellen annual releases.
Distilled in 1978 and bottled in 2002 at Cask Strength and was limited to 12000 bottles, this is bottle 0533.


This lot is based out of the U.S.A, this being the case you (the buyer) will be liable for any extra charges and import costs that could be incurred with import and delivery ( 20% VAT & Duty etc).

At the current rate UK Duty is GBP £28.27 per litre of pure alcohol. Meaning duty paid on a 70cl bottle of whisky at 40%ABV would be around GBP £8.35.

When your bottle arrives in the UK we will provide you with an additional invoice for the import expenses.
