This 1976 Ardbeg from the distillery's legendary production year was aged in a sherry butt and bottled for Feis Ile 2004 at 51.4%. Representing the old-style Ardbeg distilled before modern equipment, it carries the rich, integrated character of three decades in wood, with sherry adding dried fruit and leather to foundational peat smoke. The age has softened the spirit's edges while deepening its complexity. A rare, historically significant bottling for serious collectors.
