Ardbeg Y2K is a limited-edition release from the iconic distillery and was created to commemorate the turn of the millennium, with Ardbeg returning to full production after decades of neglect. Saved from extinction by The Glenmorangie Company in 1997, this expression marks the inaugural edition in the Ardbeg Vintage Y2K series and is unlike anything that has come before. Distilled in the historic still, which has since retired, and matured in the finest bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks, this whisky marks a pivotal year and the dawning of a new era. This ultra-rare expression will delight and enthral collectors with its pure Ardbeg nostalgia.
Intense but subtle perfumed smokiness hits the nose alongside an herbal, sweet fragrance and intriguing citrus zest. On the palate, the rich texture elicits soot, peppermint and coffee with toffee and biscuit sweetness and hints of tar leading to a smoky buttery finish.
The cask strength Ardbeg Y2K is a complex and uniquely memorable expression and one which, due to its limited availability and high demand, will be a prized collectable among whisky aficionados.
