Detailed Description
A third delicious instalment in Ardbeg’s Twenty Something series, this 22-year-old is an excellent example of Ardbeg‚Äôs rich, smoky character while simultaneously showcasing the distillery‚Äôs remarkable talent for producing light, fresh flavours. Matured exclusively in ex-bourbon casks, Ardbeg‚Äôs characteristically thick, tarry bassline mingles with vibrant tropical fruit notes, seamlessly-integrated spices and a fresh menthol aroma which melds with peat smoke in the long, breezy finish. At once weighty and playful, this whisky ‚Äì distilled in 1996 during the distillery‚Äôs darkest time ‚Äì is crafted as testament to the quality and tenacity of Ardbeg spirit. And boy is it tasty.
