Ardbeg 18 Year Old 1998 (cask 1776) - Straight From The Cask (La Maison du Whisky 60th Anniversary)

An 18-year-old Ardbeg aged in first-fill bourbon from 1998 to 2016, bottled by Signatory for La Maison du Whisky's 60th Anniversary in one of their iconic Straight From The Cask releases (280 bottles only). Nearly two decades in active oak has tempered Ardbeg's volcanic peat with layers of vanilla, caramel, and wood spice, creating a more integrated expression than the distillery's younger offerings. The texture is substantial and warming, with a finish that balances smoke against sweet oak. A landmark bottling for those seeking mature Islay character.
