Ardbeg 2009 14 Year Old Single Cask #3771 Feis Ile 2024 (70cl, 59.00%)

Distilled in 2009 and matured for 14 years in a second-fill Pedro Ximénez sherry butt, this Ardbeg single cask release offers a profound complexity shaped by the rugged character of Islay. On the palate, the whisky delivers the distillery’s hallmark intensity of tarry, sooty smoke, which is exquisitely tempered by a rich, dark fruit sweetness and an indulgent, oily mouthfeel. Bottled at a powerful 59% ABV, this expression captures a sophisticated balance between traditional peat and the deep, sugary influence of the sherry cask.
