Ardbeg Vintage Y2K 24 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl

£680.00
Sold Out

Ardbeg Vintage Y2K 24 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is the second release in a series of ultra-rare limited edition launches. Each release is a unique whisky creation with a different age, maturation cask, ABV, and volume. Matured in bourbon casks, with a portion downloaded into amontillado sherry casks to be finished, a first for Ardbeg.

Remember the year 2000? A time of frenzy and panic surrounding the millennium bug. People everywhere going crazy predicting computerised chaos, digital meltdown, and an end to everything. For Ardbeg, the year 2000 was truly a momentous year. With the renovation of the Ardbeg Distillery in place, Dr. Bill Lumsden and the whisky creation team worked their magic on this serendipitous, rare stock. Ardbeg Vintage_Y2K is a series of limited releases from the year 2000.
Combining old and new, it merges modern, innovative whisky techniques whilst using the old Ardbeg stills.

No two Ardbeg whiskies are ever alike; the Vintage Y2K is a truly smoky anomaly and is a tale that will never come close to being replicated. 

Presented in a spectacular gift box.

ABV: 47.8%

The nose is deep, aromatic and spicy with beautiful notes of creamy toffee, flowering blackcurrant, antique leather and almonds. With a splash of water, hints of charcoal, graphite and damp moss emerge, along with a distinct sooty note. The palate is astonishingly powerful and spicy, with bursts of deeply intense smoky flavours. Coal tar mingles with woodsmoke, while notes of lozenges and bonfire embers tantalise the palate. The Amontillado sherry casks are present in the background with subtle notes of toffee, leather, cinnamon and clove. The finish is long and lingering with hints of menthol, eucalyptus, linseed oil and charcoal.
