Ardbeg 1972 13 Year Old Sestante 75cl
Lot number: 068-3396
Winning bid: £1,050
Given the success and cult-like fan base that Ardbeg has recently enjoyed, it is almost impossible to imagine that the distillery was closed, on and off, for 15 years until it was purchased by Glenmorangie.
Sitting on the southern coastline, 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 Ardbeg was bottled by renowned Italian independent bottlers Sestante. This is a rare and valuable single malt whisky.
Distilled: 1972
Age: 13 years old
43%ABV / 75cl
