- Description
- Ardbeg's 1975 vintage, bottled in 1999 shortly after the Glenmorangie acquisition, represents a pivotal moment in the distillery's history as it reopened following closure. Aged for 24 years in ex-bourbon casks, this expression showcases Islay's characteristic peat smoke tempered by the extended maturation. At 43% ABV, it bridges Ardbeg's phenolic heritage with subtle oak influence accumulated over two decades.
