Port Ellen Distillery

The Port Ellen Distillery is located in Port Ellen on the isle of Islay, Scotland.

The distillery was built in the 1820s, and was acquired by Distillers Company in 1925. The distillery closed in 1983, although supplies of the malt are still available. The distillery houses a malting which continues to supply all Islay distilleries, as per an agreement signed in 1987. Due to the closing of the distillery, Port Ellen whisky is becoming more and more collectable.

Famous quotes containing the words port and/or ellen:

“O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done,
The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we sought is won,
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring;
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of red,
Where on the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

“I know that each stage is not going to last forever. I used to think that when he was little. Whenever he was in a bad stage I thought that he was going to be like that for the rest of his life and that I’d better do something to shape him up. When he was in a good state, I thought he was going to be a perfect child and I would never have to worry; he was always going to stay that way.”
—Anonymous Parent of An Eight-Year-Old. As quoted in Between Generations by Ellen Galinsky, ch. 4 (1981)
