Description

Ardbeg 1990 Airigh Nam Beist is a single malt Scotch whisky from the Islay region of Scotland, distilled in 1990 and bottled in 2007. It is known for its unique character, matured in first- and second-fill bourbon casks, and bottled at 46% ABV. The name 'Airigh Nam Beist' translates to 'shelter of the beast' in Gaelic, referring to a small freshwater loch near the distillery. This expression is celebrated for its refined and balanced profile, distinguishing it from other Ardbeg releases.
