Ardbeg Kelpie Feis Ile 2017

From the legendary Ardbeg distillery, established on Islay in 1815, comes this special Feis Ile 2017 bottling – a tribute to the mythical Kelpie of Scottish folklore. Matured in a combination of bourbon and virgin Black Sea oak casks, this 46% ABV whisky offers Ardbeg’s signature intensely smoky character, balanced with notes of citric sweetness and a distinctive oily texture. Though slightly more restrained than their cask strength expressions, Kelpie delivers a complex and captivating Islay experience, showcasing the distillery’s renowned balance of peat and delicate flavour. Expect a lingering finish evocative of the rugged Scottish coastline and a whisper of dark, sooty smoke.
