Ardbeg – 2005 (Single Cask #5460) (70cl, 56.80%)

Distilled at the legendary Islay distillery, this exceptional 2005 Ardbeg single cask release spent over fifteen years maturing in a second-fill Oloroso sherry butt. This extended rest imparts a rich, complex depth to the iconic Ardbeg character, layering the distillery’s signature coastal peat smoke with the dark, nutty sweetness of the seasoned oak. Bottled at Glenbotal in Glasgow, this rare expression offers a profound tasting experience that perfectly balances intense maritime influence with indulgent sherried notes.
