About
This is an Ardbeg distilled in 1975 and independently bottled by Cadenhead's in 1996. This was matured in a sherry cask and bottled as part of Cadenhead's Authentic Collection at a cask strength of 48.9% abv.
This Ardbeg is an old one by Cadenhead, but much closer to a 8.84 than it is an 8.90. Very juicy, strong but not too strong, but maybe needs to be explored deeper.
Nose: sweet mangoes
Palate: strong, deep sour fruits with a potent, vegetal peat
