Tasting Notes:
Ardbeg 17 Year Old is a legendary expression that marked a stylistic shift for the distillery, showcasing a gentler and more balanced take on Islay peat. Matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and sherry casks, it presents aromas of soft smoke, vanilla, and orchard fruit, with hints of heather and sea breeze. The palate is smooth and layered, offering flavors of honey, pear, toffee, and light spice, underpinned by restrained peat smoke. The finish is long and elegant, with subtle smoke, oak, and a whisper of brine. Though discontinued, it remains a highly collectible bottling admired for its sophistication and nuanced character.
