PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

46% ABV, 700 ml

" Distilled in Ardbeg’s historic still that was retired in 2001 after 51 years of service, this vintage has a sweet and zesty nose with coal soot, honey-lemon lozenges, Peppermint Pattie, and traces of black licorice. Silky smooth on the tongue, with sweet vanilla, lemon, peppermint creams, doughnut custard, ashy peat smoke, and orange pith, with creamy coffee, aniseed, and vanilla on the finish. No water needed." Jonny McCormick for the Whisky Advocate, 94 Points

The Millennium Spirit

"On the dawn of the year 2000, the millennium bug threatened the world's data, causing widespread panic. We looked to take stock. Stored on Ardbeg's system of ledgers, floppies, and antiquated servers were records for every last barrel on site. 

It was inevitable something, somewhere was going to get overlooked.

And sure enough, a handful of casks were inexplicably sent to a distant warehouse.

Ardbeg Vintage_Y2K is an ultra-rare whisky matured in obscurity for 23 years until it was finally recovered. This limited edition is the first release of this millennium spirit. "

"Whisky can slip through the net from time to time, but never quite like this"
Dr Bill Lumsden
