Description
Ardbeg 1976, bottled at 25 years by Silver Seal, represents a distillery vintage that already carries weight on its own, here shown through the lens of an independent bottler known for characterful selections. The age allows the spirit to develop depth and calm authority, while still keeping clear Ardbeg personality at the core. Peat smoke feels settled rather than sharp, with maritime influence, warmth and a sense of structure that reflects long ageing. The mention of “First Bottling” on the label adds context and detail to the release, giving it extra interest for collectors who value bottling history as much as flavour.
