A 50-year Port Ellen — for less
Comparable bottles often clear $30K–$50K+. Cask P5X2 opens at $19,880.
Port Ellen's revival is underway, but it will be well beyond 2070 before another similarly aged bottle can exist. These 1970s distillates cannot be replicated — and collector demand keeps climbing.
