Ardbeg Single Cask #2751 Whisky 31 Year Old · 1974 Vintage

Colour

Deep burnished amber with coppery-gold highlights and a subtle mahogany edge.

Nose

Peat smoke coils around a lush sherry core—figs, raisins and dark chocolate with treacle and a bright note of orange zest. Sea-salt and iodine cling to lacquered oak, while vanilla sweetness and subtle leather unfold in the background. Maritime, powerful, refined—an Ardbeg invitation to depth and distance.

Palate

Powerfully peated and coastal, this Ardbeg delivers a dense plume of smoky peat, iodine and sea-salt. Sherry-influenced notes unfold as dried fig, raisin and dark chocolate mingle with orange zest and spice. Rich, oak-driven warmth carries through a long, mineral finish, leaving a refined, lingering ember of smoke and sweetness.

Finish

An expansive finish of smoked peat and maritime iodine lingers with elegant restraint. Waves of dark chocolate, treacle and dried fig soften the blaze, while ash and sea-salt thread through the sweetness. A warm, resinous smoke fades slowly to a whisper of cocoa and polished oak, a long, contemplative farewell that speaks to Ardbeg’s timeless coastal character.
