Product Info
Remember the year 2000? It was a time of panic and confusion surrounding the Millennium Bug, a time when people around the world were predicting computer chaos, digital collapse, and the end of everything. For Ardbeg, 2000 was a truly momentous year, and with the distillery renovations completed, Dr. Bill Lumsden and the Whisky Creations team have added magic to this rare stock that happened to be left behind. Ardbeg Vintage_Y2K is a limited-release series distilled in 2000, combining old and new by using the historic Ardbeg stills while incorporating modern, innovative whisky techniques. Vintage_Y2K 23, debuting in 2024, is a unique 23-year-old whisky matured in Oloroso and Bourbon casks. While no two Ardbegs are alike, the whisky from Vintage_Y2K holds a true smoky anomaly, a story that will never be repeated. Non-chill filtered whiskey with an alcohol content of 46.0%.
