Ardbeg 10 Year Old 1990s Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70cl, 40% ABV
This is a highly collectible 1990s vintage Ardbeg 10 Year Old, bottled at 40% vol in a 70 cl format during the Allied Distillers era before Glenmorangie took over the distillery in 1997. Presented in the classic dark green glass with a simple black screw cap, its distinctive vintage label features the stylized gold and white Ardbeg logo alongside the description "Finest Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky" and a "Guaranteed 10 years old" age statement. This bottling represents a unique, historical snapshot of Ardbeg's production style, standing in stark contrast to the modern 10-year-old expression which is bottled at a higher 46% ABV.
Renowned for its intense and complex flavor profile, this whisky captures the essence of Islay's unique maritime character through meticulous craftsmanship and traditional distillation methods.
