We are excited to present a stunning 14 year old Ardbeg. This release was specially selected and drawn from an exquisite single cask. 

Distilled on 13th of July 2009 then matured in a 2nd fill port barrique, #3918 before bottling on the 10th of January 2024 at 57.9% abv. 

This is the distillery’s first experiment with ageing their spirit in ex-port casks. One cask in particular stood out from the rest with layers of sweet, floral notes and well integrated smoke. A perfumed foray into Ardbeg’s floral side.

Aroma: Fragrant, perfumed and sweet. Milk chocolate, honeycomb and sugared plums are contrasted by notes of incense and spearmint. A few drops of water release aromas of rose and honeysuckle, with echoes of Ardbeg’s signature smoke.

Palate: A soft, velvety and slightly drying texture is followed by a complexity of flavours. Notes of butter candy give way to smoked plums and chocolate truffles. Then aniseed, menthol and woodsmoke emerge, alongside subtle hints of burnt toast, black peppercorns and cumin.

Finish: Finally, softer tones of lightly smoked pears and walnut oil come to the fore.
