Description

This is a 26-year-old Ardbeg single malt Scotch whisky, distilled in 1994 and bottled in 2021 by Wm Cadenhead's as part of their Authentic Collection series. Matured in a single bourbon hogshead, this limited release yielded 210 bottles at a natural cask strength of 47.4%. Cadenhead's is the oldest independent bottler in Scotland. Mid-90s Ardbegs are highly sought after due to the distillery operating at limited capacity in 1994 after being mothballed in 1981.
