Description
Ardbeg Kildalton 1980 comes from a period of the distillery that many collectors and long time fans consider highly significant. A named vintage release from 1980 already sets it apart since it reflects Ardbeg at a time when production circumstances and style were very different from today. The whisky feels quieter and more composed than the fiercely smoky modern image of the distillery yet it still carries unmistakable Islay character with depth, coastal presence and a sense of maturity in how the flavours come together. Much of its appeal lies in what it represents as well as how it tastes. This is a rare and meaningful piece of Ardbeg history with real standing among serious whisky enthusiasts.
