this remarkable 37-year-old Highland malt was distilled on 4th March 1971 and bottled at natural cask strength by the Dead Whisky Society in 2008

and this cask has been bottled without colouring or chill filtration at its hefty natural cask strength of 58

very different to the 10-year-old Ardbeg of today - this whisky would have been assembled from stocks laid down in the early 1990s before the Glenmorangie takeover

various medicinal notes and touches of smoked tea

spiced with ground white pepper

so this will be a fascinating whisky

citrus zest and a whisp of smoke

whose chalk content is so high that it appears white

Matured in a single bourbon barrel #1898 for 32 years and bottled at a natural cask strength of 48

tarry peat

A 1999 Oloroso Sherry finish Benriach to accompany its PX sibling

G&M have been criticised for bottling so many Ardbegs at lower strengths like this one
