- Description
- Ardbeg's 1999 vintage bottled at cask strength from a first-fill bourbon barrel after 10 years of maturation offers early-period Ardbeg at its most concentrated and unapologetic. Classic Islay peat and smoke are elevated by bourbon cask vanilla and coastal brine, with the higher alcohol and single-cask variability adding intensity and character. This is for peat enthusiasts seeking raw, uncompromised Ardbeg from a formative era of the distillery.
