ARDBEG VINT Y2K 70CL47.8°
Reference: 26526
Bold millennium vintage: smoke, caramel, leather and candied citrus in a rare, memorable blend.
This whisky bridges tradition and modernity: a vintage release distilled in the year 2000 in a now-retired still, then aged over two decades. Bold yet elegant, it unites the smoky Islay hallmark with unexpected aromatic layers of caramel, aged leather, toasted almonds and candied citrus. Each sip balances peat depth and subtle sweetness, like walking a Scottish shoreline under stormy skies, where sea salt meets comforting warmth. For the connoisseur seeking a rare, story-laden spirit, this Vintage Y2K edition stands out as a collectible expression to be savored slowly.
