Tasting Notes

Ardbeg 22 Year Old - Twenty Something is a remarkable expression that embodies the essence of Ardbeg's storied past. Distilled in 1996, when the distillery faced an uncertain future, this whisky holds a piece of history within each sip. Matured in ex-bourbon casks, it unveils a symphony of flavors – a vibrant overture of lime cordial and orange marmalade, underscored by buttery pastry notes. As the symphony unfolds, refined smoke intertwines with hints of vanilla and clove, creating a captivating melody. The palate bursts with dark and orchard fruits, balanced by golden syrup, dark chocolate, and a peppery finish. Cured meat and a subtle salinity add depth and complexity, resonating long after the final note. This limited edition whisky is a testament to Ardbeg's resilience and a celebration of its enduring legacy.
