Ardbeg Single Malt 17 year old

First released over 25 years ago in 1997, Ardbeg 17 Year Old was one of the first bottles to leave the Distillery after reopening. A quarter of a century since he first created this magnificent recipe, Dr Bill Lumsden – Master Distiller - has meticulously crafted this release to mirror the original, retracing the flavour profile note by note, and choosing to bottle at 40% strength, just as it was back then. Distinctly balmy and medicinal, an enticing minerality bursts into sweet smoke and malted barley. Its peaty presence is undeniable, with hints of tar and oak.
