Ardbeg Limited Edition Single Malt Scotch Whisky 24 Year Old · 1975 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber-gold with coppery highlights and mahogany edges, a lacquered, sunlit hue.

Nose

Blazing peat smoke and iodine ride a briny maritime breeze, lifted by sherry-cask sweetness. Raisin, fig and dark chocolate mingle with leather and oak, while a hint of black pepper threads through the aroma. A quintessential Islay perfume—age, complexity, and smoky elegance.

Palate

On the palate, this Ardbeg unfolds a robust, smoky sweetness—peat-driven and savoury, with iodine-brine and sherry-dark fruit notes of fig and raisin. Rich cocoa, espresso and lacquered oak mingle with spice, black pepper and vanilla. The mouthfeel is velvety, the peat assertive yet refined, finishing long and drying with mineral salt and lingering smoke.

Finish

An expansive finish of peat smoke and maritime salt, slowly revealing sherry sweetness, dried fruit and cocoa. The Islay heat lingers, mingling with oak spice before fading to a long, peppery, saline whisper that leaves a refined warmth and lingering complexity.
