- Description
- Ardbeg's 2021 release of its 25-year-old single malt, aged a quarter-century and bottled at 46% from the distillery. Maturity has softened the peat into elegant smoke, complemented by toffee, candied citrus, and fennel; the palate layer in pepper sherbet lemons and creamy toffee before acrid peat smoke reasserts itself on the finish. Rich, warming texture with exceptional length. A sophisticated milestone for Ardbeg devotees and those seeking balance between age and character.
