Notes from the Distiller:

Released over 25 years ago in 1997, Ardbeg 17 Years Old was one of the first bottles to leave the distillery after its reopening.

Dr. Bill Lumsden has meticulously crafted this release to mirror the original, retracing the flavor profile note by note and choosing to bottle at 40% strength, just as it was back them.

Maturation: Ex-Bourbon casks

80 Proof

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Fresh and clean, with hints of pine resin, aniseed, sea spray and lavender soap – very gentle, restrained and rather elegant for an Ardbeg.

Taste: A beautiful, creamy texture is followed by a lovely combination of flavors, with aniseed, toffee, café latte, fennel and gentile antiseptic soap.

Finish: The peat smoke is present, but in a very restrained manner, and leads into a lingering aftertaste with chewy oak, cocoa powder and tar.
