Description
Ardbeg 1972 28 Year Old, bottled by Douglas Laing for the Old Malt Cask series, is an independent release drawn from a long maturation period and limited to 492 bottles. Distilled in 1972 and aged for twenty eight years, this whisky comes from a time when Ardbeg’s production and style were very different from today. The profile is calm and mature, with peat smoke present but well integrated. Coastal notes, mineral tones and soft citrus form the backbone, supported by gentle oak that adds structure without dominating. Bottled as part of the Old Malt Cask range, this release focuses on clarity and balance, offering a composed view of historic Ardbeg shaped primarily by time in cask.
