Winning bid: £155
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 coast line the current distillery was founded in 1815, the original was destroyed by excise men. The Ardbeg spirit still is fitted with a purifier which many believe accounts for its fruity, zesty character.
This bottle from Ardbeg has been released to raise money for the Kildalton Project and is not to be confused with Kildalton 1980!
This is a charity bottling for the Kildalton Project which is part of the North Highland Initiative. This charity's aim is to support fragile communities across the northern highlands and around Scotland.
The label and the box both bears the Kildalton cross. For those who don't know about the Kildalton cross it's a monolithic high cross located on Islay's coast at a ruined church. Carved in 800AD.
Bottled: 2014
Cask Type: Bourbon & first fill/refill Sherry casks
46% ABV / 70cl
Please note that the inner packaging of this bottle is extremely fragile. We will endeavour to pack them as securely as possible but Ardbeg themselves are aware of this issue.
