Commercial description

Ardbeg 25 Years Old is the newest, yet oldest, permanent addition to the Ardbeg core range. Bottled from casks filled during the 1990s, when the Distillery was producing only a trickle of new make spirit each year, it offers an opportunity to experience some of the most scarce and precious Ardbeg available.

This supreme expression proves unequivocally that age cannot tame Ardbeg?s smoky power, but it can yield some of the most complex and majestic flavours ever to emerge from the Distillery. Ardbeg 25 Years Old is Ardbeg at its most intricate, balanced and beguiling.

Majestic aromas of smoked cream and earthy bonfires are masterfully interwoven with layers of pine and fragrant candle wax. Hot pepper rises on the palate, twisting around lemon sherbet sweetness, while hints of carbolic soap and tar flow into a long aftertaste characterised by delicate aniseed entwined with lingering cream and fudge.

The unique packaging features a striking gun metal and silver coloured bottle, encased in an intricate metal ?cage? a modern take on the classic Ardbeg knotwork and a fitting symbol of the untamed complexity of this most precious whisky.

Colour
A pungent burst of smoked cream, peppermint and toffee, with Ardbeg?s classic fennel and pine resin. Distant earthy bonfires mix with herbal and fruity (banana & tropical) notes, along with fragrant candle wax.

Nose
An extremely vibrant, hot peppery mouthfeel, leads in to a burst of sherbet lemon sweetness (candied apples, pears & oranges), hints of carbolic soap and tar, more creamy toffee, aniseed and chilli pepper .

Taste
A long, mellow, lingering aftertaste, with lots of cream, fudge and delicate antiseptic notes. An elegant, soothing style of Ardbeg.
