This is a limited edition Ardbeg single malt from 1978, bottled in 1998 at 43% ABV in a 70cl bottle. The nose shows bourbon oak alongside peat, with the malt overshadowed by the strength of both. On the palate it is subtle and poised, with a rich, almost grassy malt, well-judged oak, and hints of roast coffee and hickory. The finish is balanced and deep in character, and the sweetness and complexity build the longer it stays on the palate.

About Glenbotal

The idea of Glenbotal came to us naturally: as whisky lovers, we were always on the lookout for new experiences in the whisky world. That’s why we created Glenbotal and became our very own first customers. We buy unique and hard to find spirits from ballots and private collections. Then, we share them with a small circle of friends and people who can appreciate a good dram.
