Ardbeg Twenty Something Committee Exclusive Single Malt Scotch Whisky 21 Year Old
Out of stock
A limited release of a 21 year old from stock pre-dating the Glenmorangie take over is always going to cause a Corryvreckan of excitement and i was very excited to sample this 100% Ex-Bourbon cask aged offering with natural colour and non chill filtered.
The years have been kind to this Ardbeg with the peat smoke becoming more in unison with the fruit and spice revealing a more elegant and less medicinal style for this distillery.
