Ardbeg 1974 / Bot.1996 / Spirit of Scotland Islay Whisky

A 1974-vintage Ardbeg bottled by Gordon & MacPhail in 1996 under their Spirit of Scotland range, capturing the distillery's heavily peated character at 22 years old. The extended maturation in wood brings depth and integration to Ardbeg's natural smoke and brine, while 40% ABV keeps it elegant and contemplative. An excellent example of how quality independent bottlers preserve distillery character across decades.
