Ardbeg 26 Year Old 1991 (cask 1922) - Mackillop's Choice

Ardbeg's 26-year-old from 1991, independently bottled by Mackillop's Choice, captures the distillery in a historically significant year—just after its restart and before its closure. Aged in bourbon oak for over 26 years, it develops deep peated complexity with maritime salt, tar, and dark fruit layered beneath. The texture is warming and substantial, with a long, smoky finish that demonstrates how age can mellow peat without losing its essential character. This is a rare snapshot of Ardbeg's modern era, suited to those collecting expressions from pivotal distillery periods.
