Description
Distilled in 1976 and bottled in 2000 as part of the inaugural Ardbeg Committee release, this single cask captures the distillery during one of its most celebrated production periods. The sherry maturation has softened the classic Islay peat into something deeper—dark fruits, warming spices, and smoked stone fruit compete with hints of tar and salt. Bottled at cask strength, the texture is thick and enveloping, with a finish that lingers between smoke and sweetness. Essential for Ardbeg devotees and those seeking proof of how well Islay peat ages in quality cask wood.
