Ardbeg – Twenty Something 23 Year Old (70cl, 46.30%)

Ardbeg – Twenty Something 23 Year Old is a single malt whisky from Ardbeg (Islay). Aged 23 years, bottled at 46.30% ABV, 70cl. Matured in bourbon & oloroso sherry casks. This Twenty Something release was distilled during the 1980s and 1990s in the pot still which now sits proudly outside the legendary Islay distillery. During these troubling periods for the distillery, not much stock was kept back for the future. A few casks survived though, and it's these which make up this spectacular 23-year-old release. Matured in a mixture of oloroso sherry and bourbon casks, this was released exclusively to Ardbeg Committee members on 2nd November 2017. 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.
