Portintruan

New Islay distillery by Sukhinder and Rajbir Singh (founders of The Whisky Exchange) through their company Elixir Distillers. Located outside Port Ellen on Islay's south coast. Ground broken late 2020, stills arrived late 2024, but construction stalled when ISG went into administration. Features traditional floor maltings (supplying 50%+ of malt), direct-fired stills, and an experimental micro-distillery within the site. Plans include 14 houses for workers, visitor centre, bar/restaurant, tasting room, and apprentice program. Expected to produce four distinct spirit styles.
