Description
Ardbeg 1972 12 Year Old, bottled by Gordon & MacPhail for the Connoisseurs Choice range and imported by Meregalli, is an early independent bottling that reflects a very different chapter in the distillery’s history. Distilled in 1972 and bottled after twelve years, this whisky predates Ardbeg’s modern revival and shows a lighter, more spirit-driven style. Peat smoke is present but restrained, allowing coastal notes, citrus peel and soft malt to come forward. Oak influence is subtle and supportive rather than dominant. As a Connoisseurs Choice release with Italian import provenance, this bottling is valued for its authenticity and for offering a clear insight into how Ardbeg whisky expressed itself in the early nineteen seventies.
