Ardbeg Feis Ile 2011 & Poster
Lot number: 068-2081
Winning bid: £660
Given the success and cult-like fan base that Ardbeg has recently enjoyed, it is almost impossible to image that the distillery was closed, on and off, for 15 years until it was purchased by Glenmorangie. Sitting on the southern coast line, the current distillery was founded in 1815, the original having been destroyed by excise men. The Ardbeg spirit still is fitted with a purifier which many believe accounts for its fruity, zesty character.
This very rare Ardbeg is drawn from just two Spanish ex-Pedro Ximenez Butts and bottled at cask strength to celebrate the 2011 Islay Festival of Music and Malt "Feis Ile". This is a rare beast full of pent up power - don't turn your back on it!
Comes with the poster that was given out at the festival.
