Ardbeg 1972 / 28 Year Old / Old Malt Cask Islay Whisky

Ardbeg's 1972 vintage, bottled by Douglas Laing at 28 years old, represents a snapshot of the distillery during a quiet period in its history. Without the original notes provided, this cask offers a glimpse into Ardbeg's core identity—expect the peat and maritime character for which Islay is renowned, tempered by nearly three decades of oak maturation. The age and refill-cask regime likely produced a more delicate, integrated smoke than modern Ardbeg expressions. A historical curiosity for Islay enthusiasts and collectors documenting the distillery's evolution.
