Ardbeg 1976 / Sherry Cask #2397 Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

A remarkable 1976 vintage from Ardbeg's post-acquisition years, aged 31 years in a single sherry butt and bottled at cask strength (52.4%) by the distillery in 2008. Sherry maturation has transformed the peat into something elegant—deep dried fruits, leather, and wood spice dominate, with smoke lingering as a refined backdrop. The texture is full and oily, with a long warming finish. For serious collectors and those who appreciate how time and wood can elevate Islay's intensity.
