This latest expression in the Ardbeg Twenty Something series follows on from the 21-year-old-2016 release and the 23-year-old-2017 release (also available on our virtual shelves). 😉
Guaranteed to be at least 22 years old, this expression pays tribute to the whisky enthusiasts of yesteryear and those perilous days in the mid to late 1990’s when distilling at Ardbeg had diminished to almost nothing. Born out of hope and determination, this bottling signifies the momentous moment when a handful of faithful believers decided to keep Ardbeg alive.
