Increasingly rare, now discontinued whisky from Ardbeg. Incredibly rich and powerful, and all too easy to drink.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
It's due to the history of the distillery, it was closed from 1991 to 1997 when it was bought by Glenmorangie, so whiskey distilled in that year is currently only 16 years old. I had the joy of having a bottle of this back around 2003-4 and it is a beautiful dram. Would I buy a bottle for this much? That is the real question.
Ardbeg can't sort it out!! Its supply and demand. Van Gogh can't sort out the value given to a given Sunflowers painting.
But not THAT good!
500 quid for a 17 year old?! Ardbeg, sort it out!
