The Ardbeg 25 Year Old is a single malt whisky distilled in the 1990s and carefully matured for a quarter of a century in ex-bourbon casks, before being bottled in 2020 at 46% ABV. This distinguished whisky is part of Ardbeg's core range, yet its age and exclusivity mean it is only available in limited quantities, with just 6500 bottles released. Originating from the illustrious Ardbeg Distillery, located on the south coast of Islay, this expression is a testament to the heritage and craftsmanship that has defined Ardbeg since its founding in 1798. Known for its heavily peated whiskies, Ardbeg continues to deliver unparalleled quality and flavor. This 25-year-old masterpiece exudes the iconic smoky profile that Ardbeg is renowned for, enriched with a complexity that only time can unveil. The nose greets you with an intense burst of smoked cream, peppermint, toffee, fennel, pine resin, earthy bonfires, herbal and fruity notes, and fragrant candle wax. On the palate, it is vibrant and bold, offering peppery spices, sherbet lemon sweetness, hints of carbolic soap and tar, creamy toffee, aniseed, and a touch of chilli pepper. The finish is long and memorable, featuring delicate notes of aniseed, fudge, and lingering cream. This limited release from the 2023 batch is drawn from exceptionally rare casks filled during some of the distillery's most challenging periods. It epitomizes an elegant yet powerful style, proving that age cannot dampen Ardbeg's smoky character but can enhance its complexity and majesty. Non-chill filtered, the Ardbeg 25 Year Old is a celebration of the distillery's rich legacy and unwavering dedication to excellence.
