Ardbeg 'Vintage_Y2K' 23 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Ardbeg Vintage_Y2K 23 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a unique expression from the renowned Islay distillery, representing one of the limited releases distilled in the year 2000. Matured for over two decades in a combination of oloroso and bourbon casks, this single malt encapsulates the diverse character of Ardbeg, showcasing a different facet of the distillery's artistry with each bottling. The whisky's age and careful maturation process result in a complex profile that both enthusiasts and collectors will appreciate.

On the nose, Ardbeg Vintage_Y2K presents a fragrant bouquet that is herbal and sweet, complemented by a hint of subtle smokiness. As the aroma unfolds, lively zesty notes reminiscent of lemon balsam emerge, alongside linseed oil and candied walnuts. Adding a splash of water reveals a more intense fragrance, featuring heather honey, a touch of creosote, and a whisper of tent canvas, creating a truly captivating olfactory experience.

The palate delivers an effervescent texture, reminiscent of sherbet, with an initial burst of sweetness quickly giving way to an exciting medley of flavors. Aniseed, toffee, digestive biscuits, and peppermint blend seamlessly with menthol, tar, and coffee grits. This delightful complexity culminates in a finish that layers sooty and tarry notes, evolving into a lingering aftertaste of antiseptic lozenges, bitter oranges, and oak tannins. Ideal for sipping neat or with a drop of water, this expression invites connoisseurs to explore its multifaceted character.
