Description
Ardbeg distilled in 1993 and bottled at 12 years as part of Cadenhead’s Authentic Collection represents the distillery in a more direct, unembellished form. The relatively young age keeps the spirit at the forefront, showing Ardbeg’s typically assertive character without the softening of long-term maturation. Expect firm peat smoke, coastal sharpness and a clear, energetic structure, supported by a drier, more straightforward style that suits this age. It feels focused and honest, with the emphasis firmly on the distillate rather than on cask-driven richness.
