As was to be expected the reopening of one of Islay’s (not) lost (any more) distilleries received quite a lot of media attention. After a lot of work Port Ellen distillery is back in business, looking quite fancy in parts. They are quite similar to an extent (at least partially based on a press release I’d assume), but here are a few press mentions:
- scottish licensed trade news – Port Ellen revival promises a ‘trailblazing new light’ for Scotch Whisky
- Whiskey Raiders – ‘From Islay to the World!’: After Over 4 Decades of Slumber, Iconic Port Ellen Scotch Whisky Distillery Awakens
- The Whisk(e)y Wash – Port Ellen Distillery Finally Reopens
- The Spirits Business – Port Ellen distillery back in business after 40 years
- The Financial Times – The rebirth of Port Ellen whisky
- The Scotsman – Port Ellen Distillery on Islay reopens – here’s what visitors can expect including free tours
Those are the main ones I came across, there were more….
