- Description
- Ardbeg's 1975 vintage aged in a single sherry cask and bottled at cask strength in 2002, offering a rare window into the distillery's character from nearly three decades of maturation. The sherry influence adds richness and dried fruit complexity to Ardbeg's signature peat and maritime smoke. At 46.2% ABV, the spirit retains considerable depth and weight, with layers of tar, iodine, and subtle oak spice. A collector's piece for those seeking older Ardbeg expressions shaped by sherry wood rather than bourbon.
