Ardbeg 18 Year Old 10th Anniversary of the Whisky Exchange Whisky Show
Lot number: 091-5411
Winning bid: £250
Given the success and cult-like fan base that Ardbeg has recently enjoyed, it is almost impossible to imagine that the distillery was closed on and off for 15 years until it was purchased by Glenmorangie. Sitting on the southern coastline of Islay, the current distillery was founded in 1815; the original having been destroyed by excise men. The Ardbeg spirit still is fitted with a purifier which many believe accounts for its fruity, zesty character. Due to its huge upsurge in popularity, Ardbeg has added Ardbeg An Oa to its core malt range of the original three expressions: the 10-year-old; Uigeadail; and Corryvreckan.
This 18 Year Old was bottled for the 10th Anniversary of one of the highlights of the whisky calendar - the Whisky Exchange Whisky Show in London.
Age: 18 Year Old
55.9% ABV / 70cl
