Description
Ardbeg 25 Year Old 2021 is a mature Islay single malt that shows a quieter, more refined side of the distillery. Aged for a full quarter of a century, this release focuses less on brute smoke and more on balance, texture and elegance. The peat is still present, but softer and more integrated, allowing notes of citrus, herbal tones, gentle sweetness and maritime salt to come forward. Oak influence is subtle, giving structure without dominating the whisky. Bottled at 46 percent, the 2021 release highlights how Ardbeg’s spirit develops over long ageing, offering depth and complexity rather than sheer intensity. It stands as a thoughtful and understated expression within the Ardbeg range, valued by those who appreciate maturity and restraint in peated whisky.
