Description

This 1974-vintage Ardbeg was bottled by Gordon & MacPhail in 1994 as part of their 'Spirit of Scotland' series to commemorate 500 years of Scotch whisky. It is described as a minor peaty masterpiece, rooty, smoky, kippery, tarry, and filled with a rich fug of peat that unmistakably screams Ardbeg.
