It is a rare to have a aged statement Ardbeg above 10 year old. This is a limited edition bottle of Ardbeg 21 Year Old single malt, matured in ex-bourbon casks and bottled at 46% ABV released in 2016.
A bit of history, Ardbeg’s production was halted in 1981, resumed in 1989 by Hiram Walker but continued at a low level until late 1996. Given the release date, this bottle would be produced in 1985, which was said to mark the turbulent times that the distillery went through at the time.

Green leafy herbal top notes with Ardbeg smoke. Sweet toffee, popcorn and buttery oak notes are then discovered. Smokey it is!
As per the tasting notes from the producer: “Intense, peppery, ‘fizzy’ mouthfeel gives way to rick flavors of liquorice, marzipan, toasted rye bread, charcoal and peppermint. The integrated flavors lingers, with more creamy vanilla, sweet notes and a dash of spice.”
FINISH
Long finish but quite gentle, soothing, with more coal tar and smoky butter
