SECOND LUXURY SERIES RELEASE
Laid down in the year 2000 amidst the millennium bug frenzy, Ardbeg Y2K 24 years old is the second release of this serendipitous, rare stock.
Matured in bourbon casks, with a portion downloaded into amontillado sherry casks to be finished, a first for Ardbeg. This transmits subtle notes of creamy toffee, flowering blackcurrants and almonds, with flickers of damp moss and graphite. Its astonishing power surges on the palate, as woodsmoke merges with cinnamon spice, linseed oil and eucalyptus.
This is the first ever non-single cask release of Ardbeg finished in Amontillado casks married with classic Ardbeg. Amontillado is Dr Bill’s favourite sherry.
Non-chill filtered.
