- Description
- Ardbeg's March 1991 distillate was aged 25 years before being bottled by Douglas Laing in June 2016 as part of their Xtra Old Particular range, yielding 207 bottles. A quarter-century in wood allows the distillery's intense peat and spice character to evolve into something more rounded and complex.
