- Description
- Ardbeg's 1994 vintage represents a rare window into the distillery's character before its recent revival, distilled in May and aged 21 years before July 2015 bottling. The mature Islay spirit shows how time softens peat smoke without erasing it, revealing layers of dark fruit, leather, and ash beneath the signature medicinal character. Only 56 bottles were produced and presented in a leather and hardwood case, suiting collectors of older Ardbeg and peated rarities.
