Single Malt
Scotland
Another fabulous release from Hunter Laing's The 2019 Kinship collection, released to celebrate the official start of distilling at its very own Ardnahoe distillery on Islay. This Ardbeg 26 Year Old was distilled back in 1992 and aged in a refill hogshead for over a quarter of a century. The Islay single malt was then independently bottled at a cask strength of 47.2% ABV, and only 387 bottles were released.
Beautiful notes of sea breezes, drying freshly cut peat, and sun-bleached seaweed. At this age it’s in its absolute prime. Stunning notes of oak smoked toffee and marzipan introduce themselves onto the senses. Heather moor fires, salt encrusted sails, bracken with a rare dash of pepper and lemon. It’s elegant and succulent without a hint of harshness.
