Ardbeg 1978 Vintage is a Limited Edition Old Style Islay single malt, distilled in 1978 and bottled in 1998. It comes in a 70cl bottle. The whisky was distilled one year before Hiram Walker bought all the shares in the company, buying out both the McDougall family and Distillers Company Ltd. The nose is full and slightly herbal, with brine, peat smoke, espresso beans, fresh lime and cedar wood, followed by vanilla spice and a little toasty oak. On the palate it is full-bodied and woody, with balanced herbal notes, coffee beans and cut hay. The finish is long, turning very spicy and oaked.

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.
