Ardbeg 2000 / 21 Year Old / Private Oloroso Cask 1565 Islay Whisky

This 2000-distilled Ardbeg spent 21 years in an ex-oloroso sherry cask, marrying the distillery's signature peat smoke with rich, warming spice and sweetness at 51% ABV. Christmas cake, walnut, and leather notes emerge on the nose, while the palate layers honey-glazed smoked bacon and toffee against pungent bonfire smoke. The sherry influence adds depth and complexity to Ardbeg's normally austere profile. For Islay devotees seeking a bridge between peat intensity and sherried sophistication.
