Ardbeg – 17 Year Old (70cl, 40.00%)

Ardbeg – 17 Year Old is a single malt whisky from Ardbeg (Islay). Aged 17 years, bottled at 40.00% ABV, 70cl. The Glenmorangie Company revival of Ardbeg in 1997 saw the relaunch of its single malt brand. Due to the years of inactivity, this 17-year-old was the first age statement they could release. The classic 10-year-old did not appear until 2000. The spirit used to make up this release would have been distilled and filled in to casks during the period when Hiram Walker owned the distillery, with production taking place between 1977 and 1981. A distillery located on the south coast of the Isle of Islay. It is currently part of the Scotch whisky holdings of LVMH. Despite being closed twice in the latter 20th century, the distillery's heavily-peated single malt has always been highly-regarded.
