Description
Ardbeg 1976 25 Year Old, bottled by Silver Seal, is an independent release from a period when the distillery operated in a very different context than today. Distilled in 1976 and matured for twenty five years, this whisky comes from an era of irregular production and a more restrained house style. The peat smoke is present but elegant, integrated with coastal notes, mineral tones and gentle citrus. Long ageing has softened the edges, bringing balance, subtle sweetness and mature oak without overwhelming the spirit. As a Silver Seal bottling, it focuses on clarity and maturity rather than power, offering a composed and authentic expression of Ardbeg as it existed in the mid nineteen seventies.
