Ardbeg 1975 / Cask 4704 / Oloroso Sherry Cask Islay Festival / Signed Islay Whisky

This 1975 Ardbeg was bottled in 2005 for Feis Ile after extended maturation in an ex-Oloroso sherry cask, capturing the distillery's golden era of heavily peated production. Ardbeg's smoky, briny character mingles with dark fruit, leather, and subtle wine influence from the cask, developing a complex, mature profile. The palate is robust and oily, with waves of iodine and smoked citrus persisting into a long, warming finish. A rare festival release for devotees of classic, uncompromising Islay whisky.
