Description
Since its establishment in 1815, The Ardbeg distillery has been on a tumultuous rollercoaster ride of ownership changes, closures, and reopening. Stability was only achieved relatively recently, when the ailing distillery was purchased in 1997 by industry giants, Glenmorangie. The subsequent years have seen the distillery's popularity swell, with fans enticed by the signature style of tarry, sooty. This Ardbeg 1977 Limited Edition is a rare Islay single malt Scotch whisky, distilled in 1977 and bottled in 2001 after 24 years of maturation. It was released in small batches between 2001 and 2004, with a total production run of 2400 bottles. This expression is non chill-filtered and bottled at 46% ABV, representing a defining chapter in the distillery's history, capturing Ardbeg's old-style production character before modernisation.
