Port Ellen Port Ellen Maltings

is a former distillery located on the island of Islay, Scotland. It was established in 1825 by John and Hugh Stevenson and was one of the earliest distilleries in Scotland. It closed in 1983 and the site is now a museum. The distillery was known for its peated whisky, which was highly sought after by blenders. The Port Ellen distillery was a major employer on the island and its closure had a significant impact on the local economy. The distillery's whisky is still highly sought after and the whisky produced during its operation is considered to be some of the best in the world. The site is now home to the Port Ellen Maltings Visitor Centre, where visitors can learn about the history of the distillery and its whisky.
