- Description
- Blending old and young stock matured in bourbon and sherry casks, this higher-strength 2015 release celebrates Ardbeg's bicentennial at 49.2% ABV. The result is complex: cured meat and smoke from the peat, sea spray from the terroir, warmed by sherry cask sweetness and vanilla. Texture is rich and coating, with layers that develop as the spirit opens. A sophisticated expression for anniversaries or those seeking classic Ardbeg with added dimension.
