The final instalment is a 34-year-old single malt with intriguing flavours of classic Laphroaig peat combined with accents of fruity blueberry and sweet, rich butterscotch. This combination of classic and modern flavours showcases the evolving vision and individuality that Ian Hunter had in mind for Laphroaig whisky, making it certainly a legacy of spirit that will endure.

Ardbeg 25 Year Old Lord of the Isles (70cl, 46%)

In stock
  • ( 0 Customer Review )

Ardbeg Lord of the Isles first arrived on Islay shores in 2001 and was released in small batches subsequently over the next six years until it was discontinued in 2007.

The name was derived from the chiefs of Gaelic and Viking descent who ruled the Western Isles during the Middle Ages, between the 12th and 15th Centuries.

The majority of the malt in the bottle dates back to the mid-1970s and, although officially slated as a 25 year old, many of the bottlings are likely to contain whisky closer to 30 years of age!

A hugely collectible Islay malt, that is becoming harder to find by the day. Scored a massive 92pts with the WhiskyFun folks and has featured in the ‘1001 Whiskies You Must Try Before You Die’ book – really cementing the legacy of this special bottle.

At 25 years old this whisky embodies the richness, depth and sweetness of all Ardbegs. Light gold in colour and powerful in character. A phenomenal, much-sought-after bottling of a really outstanding malt.

Ardbeg 25 Year Old 2022 Release 70cl, 46%

In stock
  • ( 0 Customer Review )

The 2022 release of Ardbeg 25 Year Old is a smoky single malt with layers of sweetness that was matured in ex-bourbon barrels and bottled in 2021. Aromas of cream, smoke, peppermint, toffee, fennel, pine resin, earthy bonfires and ripe bananas fill the nose, complemented by notes of white pepper, sherbet lemons, candied apples, oranges, pears, tar, carbolic soap, creamy toffee, aniseed, rich smoke and antiseptic throughout the palate.

Bottled from incredibly rare casks filled during some of the Distillery’s darkest days, this is Ardbeg at its most intricate, balanced and beguiling.

Majestic aromas of smoked cream and earthy bonfires are masterfully interwoven with layers of pine and fragrant candle wax. Hot pepper rises on the palate, twisting around lemon sherbet sweetness, while hints of carbolic soap and tar flow into a long aftertaste characterised by delicate aniseed entwined with lingering cream and fudge.
