DESCRIPTION

The Ardbeg Y2K Vintage Edition - 23 Years is a rare and limited single malt whisky that holds a special place in Ardbeg’s history. Distilled in the year 2000, when the distillery resumed full production after years of neglect, this whisky has been aged for 23 years in a combination of bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks. This edition not only commemorates the turn of the millennium but also celebrates the formation of the Ardbeg Committee in 2000, dedicated to preserving the distillery’s legacy.

Bottled at 46% ABV without chill filtration, this whisky offers a complex aroma profile of herbs, sweetness, and subtle smokiness, with notes of lemon balm, linseed oil, and candied walnuts. On the palate, it presents an effervescent sweetness with flavors of anise, toffee, and menthol, followed by sooty and tar-like notes. The long finish reveals hints of antiseptic lozenges, bitter orange peel, and oak tannins.

TASTING NOTES
Nose Herbal, sweet, and fragrant with a subtle, distant smokiness. Citrus notes of lemon balm and linseed oil emerge, along with candied walnuts. A splash of water intensifies the aroma, bringing out hints of heather honey and creosote.
Palate Effervescent, sorbet-like texture, offering intensely sweet flavors. Anise, toffee, peppermint, and menthol blend with tarry and sooty notes, followed by coffee grounds.
Finish Long-lasting, with notes of antiseptic lozenges, bitter orange peel, and oak tannins.

  • Ardbeg - Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

    Perched on the rugged southern coast of Islay, part of Scotland's Inner Hebrides, Ardbeg Distillery is a name revered in the world of Scotch whisky. Established in 1798 and entering commercial whisky production in 1815, Ardbeg boasts a rich history intertwined with the very essence of Islay whisky-making.

    Ardbeg is celebrated for its intensely peated Islay whisky, a style defined by the use of malted barley from the Port Ellen maltings. This distinct peat character, combined with traditional distillation methods, results in a whisky that is both deeply complex and unmistakably Islay. Now under the stewardship of luxury conglomerate Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy, Ardbeg continues to uphold its legacy while embracing innovation.

    The distillery has earned global acclaim with its award-winning expressions. The Ardbeg Ten Years Old, for instance, was named World Whisky of the Year and Scotch Single Malt of the Year in Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2008. Ardbeg Uigeadail continued this trend, receiving the same accolades in 2009 and 2010. Such recognition cements Ardbeg's status as a producer of exceptional Scotch.

    Ardbeg's pioneering spirit extends beyond traditional whisky-making. In 2011, the distillery sent 20 vials of Ardbeg spirit and wood particles to the International Space Station, showcasing its commitment to innovation. Despite its international fame, Ardbeg remains deeply rooted in its local community, employing around sixty staff members who reside locally.

    Operating with two pot stills, Ardbeg produces approximately 10,000 casks (1.4 million liters) of spirit annually. The name 'Ardbeg,' derived from the Scottish Gaelic 'An Àird Bheag,' meaning 'The small headland,' is not just a name but a testament to the distillery's connection to the land and community.

    Ardbeg's unique geographical location, rich history, award-winning bottlings, and innovative spirit make it a standout name in the world of Scotch whisky, offering a taste experience that is as profound as its heritage.
