For 60th anniversary, LMDW has selected 150 exclusive bottlings all around the world. This bottling is one of them!
Independent bottlings of Ardbeg are extremely rare. And so we are proud to be able to offer you this 1998 version bottled by Signatory Vintage for La Maison du Whisky that impressed us when we tasted it for the first time directly from the cask a few months ago. A world in itself, each stage of the tasting is heavily impregnated with a peat whose character subtly changes. The nose is particularly fruity and saline, while the palate exudes sea spray and spices before developing notes of malted barley in an impressively long finish.
Profile : refined, subtle. Assertive peat, yet also fruity and salty. Herbaceous, medicinal (camphor). Spicy (ginger, curry). The palate offers abundant sea spray, earth and salt. The back palate is sublime, with vanilla, chocolate and malted notes as the peat gains in intensity.
