Friday Islay Picture #298 - Port Ellen Maltings & Distillery

Friday Islay Picture in stencil

Finally weekend after a long and tiring week. Having decided I've earned it spoiling myself with a nice steak. To be followed by a few nice Islay drams from Laphroaig and Bruichladdich later. But first this week's Friday Islay picture, a view from the ferry from Kennacraig arriving in Port Ellen on a June evening:

Picture of the Port Ellen Maltings and what's left of Port Ellen distillery

These are of course the Port Ellen Maltings towering over what's left of Port Ellen distillery. To my knowledge essentially all of the equipment is long gone, the only thing remaining are the warehouses and a few (now rather expensive) casks of Port Ellen whisky. The warehouses are now used by Lagavulin and Kilchoman distillery.

With that I'm going to leave you tonight. Good night and have a great weekend!

Sharing and discussing. Opening up the discussion. Have your say:
