Description
A rare 1966 Ardbeg bottled in the late 1990s by respected Edinburgh independent Cadenhead's, capturing the distillery's peat-heavy character before modern production standards. At 42.6% natural strength, this whisky retains subtle, layered flavours—peat smoke, brine, and maritime character without the heaviness of later releases. The texture is dry and refined, with a persistent, mineral finish. For collectors of vintage Islay whisky seeking authenticity and age.
