- Description
- Bottled in 2000 shortly after Glenmorangie's acquisition, this 1975 Ardbeg represents a bridge between the distillery's independent era and its corporate future. At 43% strength, the whisky shows aged peat with an emphasis on smoke and maritime character rather than raw intensity. Notes of tar, seaweed, and subtle wood spice emerge across a medium palate. A transitional bottling best appreciated by those tracking the distillery's evolution.
