A very old and rare bottling of Ardbeg with the rather strange title of Special Liqueur. A slight mystery surrounds this bottle as to when it was distilled and bottled, though the best guess is that it was bottled sometime in the 1950s by D&J MacEwan & Co. There are no details regarding bottle size or the ABV.
There is some damage to the cap and seal and while the cork is intact it requires careful handling. It should also be noted that the level is quite below the shoulder.
