- Description
- This 1964 Ardbeg, bottled in 1995 by Gordon & MacPhail at 40% ABV, is a historical artifact from the distillery's pre-modernization era when direct-fired stills and floor maltings defined production. Distilled over five decades ago, it represents authentic old-fashioned Islay whisky-making before contemporary efficiency practices. At 30+ years old at bottling, it offers a rare glimpse into classic Ardbeg character. Exclusively for serious collectors and whisky historians seeking genuine vintage Islay.
