First distilled 11th March 1981, this bottling is very lightly peated in character – some of the last ever made in Ardbeg’s own maltings, creating a very lightly peated \"Kildalton-style\" Ardbeg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAged in bourbon casks, then transferred into a single Oloroso sherry cask for rich, spicy notes, it is an unrepeatable taste of Ardbeg’s past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"load-more-content\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"experience-component experience-commerceassets-editorialText\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"editorial-text\" data-alignments=\"center\" style=\"color: #0e1111; background-color: unset;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"color: #0e1111; background-color: unset;\"\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"pretitle\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n \u003ch4 data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAroma\u003c\/h4\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA beautiful combination of Brazil nut flavoured toffee, orange syrup, linseed oil, the gentlest hint of woodsmoke, some touches of grilled asparagus and pepper and a soft but distinctively savoury note like sourdough bread.
