Description

A distillery located on the south coast of the Isle of Islay, Ardbeg is known for its heavily-peated single malt. The famous Ardbeg 'Manager's Choice' bottling is a single sherry cask from 1976, selected by Stuart Thomson for sale at the distillery in 1999. This release was a key early single cask bottling that contributed to Ardbeg's stratospheric rise.

Nose
Walnut brown colour with an exceptionally intense nose bursting with the flavour of blackcurrant and morello cherries - with added water a rich Christmas pudding sherry note.
Palate
An intensely flavoured whisky to taste with a warm and dry mouthfeel.
Finish
The finish is very long with a rich aftertaste of hickory coffee, smoke and liquorice.
