• Finish: A long-lasting, spicy aftertaste with notes of tar, pepper, as well as classic maritime and medicinal accents that come through very nuanced.

Distillery/Bottler: Ardbeg is one of the most famous distilleries in Scotland, renowned for its bold and smoky single malts. The distillery is located on the southern coast of the Isle of Islay and has a tumultuous history. After a difficult period in the 1980s, Ardbeg was acquired by Glenmorangie in 1997, leading to a renaissance of the distillery. Signatory Vintage, the bottler of this whisky, is an independent bottler known for its high-quality single cask bottlings.
