Ardbeg Vintage_Y2K Aged 24 Years

Product Info

Remember the year 2000? It was a time of panic and confusion surrounding the Millennium Bug, with people around the world 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 added magic to this rare stock that had been left behind. Ardbeg Vintage_Y2K is a limited-release series distilled from the 2000 distillation, combining old and new by using the historic Ardbeg stills but incorporating modern, innovative whisky techniques. Vintage_Y2K 24 Years Old is Dr. Bill's tribute to the Committee's 25th anniversary, and represents an unprecedented approach in Ardbeg history: extra-maturation of some of the rediscovered Millennium Spirit in a selection of his beloved Amontillado sherry casks. Blending this distillate with our classic Ardbeg yields a Vintage Smoky Ardbeg, with notes of creamy toffee, antique leather, and almond nut. While no two Ardbegs are alike, the distillate from Vintage_Y2K embodies a truly smoky anomaly, a story that will never be repeated. This unchill-filtered whiskey boasts an ABV of 47.8%.
