Ardbeg Rare Cask 'The Ultimate' is a 16 year old Islay single malt, bottled in 2020 at 50.3% ABV. It was matured in a Manzanilla sherry butt, and 671 bottles were filled. The nose offers juicy pear, ripe apricot and a little raspberry, with anise, cardamom and toasted oak.

The finish is long and warm, with honeyed spice, charred wood, charcoal, ginger and dark chocolate.

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.
