Ardbeg 1996 22 Year Old Twenty Something

Born on the windswept shores of Islay, this Ardbeg 1996 matured for 22 years to deliver the distillery’s hallmark intensity. Distilled in the spring of 1996 and bottled in 2018, this expression spent its entire maturation in first-fill Bourbon casks, imparting a distinctive sweetness that beautifully balances the signature Ardbeg smoke – reminiscent of tar and soot. Expect a rich, oily texture alongside notes of citrus, creating a complex and deeply satisfying single malt that speaks to Islay’s rugged character and Ardbeg’s enduring spirit. Bottled at 46.4% ABV, it offers a powerful yet refined taste of a truly iconic distillery.
