Description
Ardbeg Lord of the Isles, bottled in 2002 at 25 years of age, is widely regarded as one of the defining whiskies in the distillery’s history and is frequently referred to by enthusiasts as the “holy grail” of Ardbeg releases. It represents a moment where age, rarity and reputation come together, showing a mature Islay character in which peat smoke is deeply integrated rather than aggressive, supported by developed maritime depth, measured sweetness and the authority of long cask time. This is a bottle valued not just for how it tastes, but for what it stands for within Ardbeg’s legacy.
