Port Ellen, the only significant settlement on the island of Islay's south coast and the island's main deep water harbour. It was established in 1821 by Walter Campbell, then Laird of Islay, and named after his first wife Eleanor. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/islay/portellen/index.html

A VIRTUAL TOUR OF SCOTLAND

We catch the ferry from Kennacraig and make the crossing to Port Ellen on the Isle of Islay, the only significant settlement on Islay's south coast. Islay is the most southerly of the Hebrides and measures about 25 miles from north to south by 20 miles from east to west.

Tom had me and Matt round for #Scotch and #Whiskey last night; the lineup was something like a 40yo single malt, a 40yo single grain, 2 25yo single malts, a 30yo #Macallan, a 40yo blended, a 50yo blended, 2 #BTAC bourbons, a 40yo Appleton rum and 5 #PortEllen

Fully insane.

I might give the win to either the William Larue #Weller or maybe the 25yo #Mortlach
Great night to celebrate the guy's 40th birthday.
