Ardbeg Blaaack & Ardbeg Ten Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky Combo (2 x 700ml)
Volume: 2 x 700ml ABV: 46% Age: No Age Statement Country: Scotland
This year’s Limited Edition bottling, Ardbeg Blaaack, is a feisty bottling celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the Ardbeg Committee which was founded in the year 2000. Wow, how time flies by!
It was the mission of Ardbeg’s Master Blender Bill Lumsden to honour their global flock and select casks which Ardbeg had never used before. ex-Pinot Noir casks from New Zealand were the winning casks. Chosen due to both Islay and New Zealand sharing a distinctive similarity of having sheep outnumbering the local by 7 to 1.
Make sure you grab a bottle today and experience summer fruits, bitter cherries and Ardbeg’s hallmark smoke.
