Ardbeg 18 Year Old Sestante Import
Lot number: 0600307
Winning bid: £290
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 - illegal - distillery was destroyed by excisemen. The Ardbeg spirit still is fitted with a purifier which many believe accounts for its fruity, zesty character.
This is a magnificent bottling of Ardbeg, distilled in the 1970's, and imported for the Italian market by Sestante.
Distilled: 1974
Age: 18 years old
40% ABV / 70cl
