- Description
- Distilled in 2009 and aged 15 years in a first-fill oloroso sherry cask, this heavily peated single malt (identified as Ardbeg through style) was bottled by DH Global Spirits at 57.5% ABV in 50cl. The oloroso maturation adds dried fruit and spice weight to the peat character, creating richness uncommon in standard Ardbeg bottlings. Though unmarked, the profile confirms the distillery's house style. A cask-strength expression for those who appreciate how sherry cask influence reshapes Islay's peated character.
