Whiskies from the 1980's

The early 1980's marks one of the darkest periods for Scotch whisky, with one of the biggest collapses of the industry. Nearly 20 distilleries were closed during this time, including what were to become the best-known 'ghost' whiskies - Port Ellen, Brora, St. Magdalene and more.

With closures and a large reduction in production, whisky from the 1980's is sparse and highly desirable due to the rarity of these closed distilleries.
