Port Ellen

Port Ellen was established on Islay’s south coast in 1825 by A K Mackay and Co. According to experts it was the first distillery to have incorporated Septimus Fox’s spirit safe design into the distillation process.
The distillery was taken over by John Ramsay in 1836 and by 1848 Port Ellen had became the first distillery to trade with North America. Ramsay also secured the right to export in larger casks and store the casks in bonded warehouses prior to export, a system which persists to this day.
