A view across the bay in Port Ellen to the warehouses of the former distillery and the modern maltings. The maltings now supply most (but not all) of the distilleries on Islay with malted barley to their individual specifications.
The Thalassa is a regular visitor to Islay, usually during and around the Festival. This is her moored in Port Ellen, the Port Ellen Maltings and the warehouses of the former Port Ellen distillery in the background on the right.
A reminder of a long gone time, one of the now lost distilleries on Islay. These are some of the warehouses of the former Port Ellen distillery, now mainly used by Diageo for what’s left of Port Ellen single malt and some of their other Islay distilleries.
