Description

This is a re-release of the iconic Ardbeg 17 Year Old, originally launched in 1997 and retired in 2004.

It is a limited edition, available exclusively to members of the Ardbeg Committee. Bottled at 40% ABV and chill-filtered, it offers a delicate yet unmistakably Ardbeg character, combining peated and unpeated stock.

The Legend Returns, Committee Exclusive
Historical context
The original 17 Year Old was released after Ardbeg reopened in 1997 and retired in 2004. This re-release is a tribute to that history.

Nose
Fresh, clean, and salving, with hints of pine resin, aniseed, sea spray, and lavender soap. It is gentle, restrained, and elegant for an Ardbeg, with a distinctive, flinty minerality, subtle sweet peat smoke, malted barley, and a touch of toasting bread.
Palate
A beautiful, creamy texture with a lovely combination of aniseed toffee, café latte, fennel, and gentle antiseptic soap. Bold peat smoke intertwines with rich toffee, dried fruits, and subtle spices, though the peat smoke is present in a very restrained manner.
Finish
Lingering, with chewy oak, cocoa powder, and tar, along with gentle smoke, vanilla, lemon, and a touch of pepper.
