Tasting Notes
This remarkable indie Islay whisky is a true gem from the legendary Ardbeg Distillery. Distilled in 2008, it was carefully laid to rest in a first-fill ex-bourbon cask, where it slumbered peacefully for a whole decade. During this extended slumber, the whisky absorbed the rich flavors and subtle nuances imparted by the cask, resulting in a truly exceptional spirit. The Scotch Malt Whisky Society meticulously bottled this rare beauty at a robust 51.7% ABV, yielding a limited outturn of just 231 precious bottles. With its distinctive Islay character and a decade of maturation, this whisky promises a unique and unforgettable experience for those fortunate enough to savor it.
