Ardbeg 1974 19 Year Old Carato Sestante
Lot number: 075-1083
Winning bid: £680
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.
Bottled by Sestante Import for Carato's Van Goch Collection.
Distilled: 1974
Bottled: 1993
Age: 19 years old
40% ABV / 70cl
