Description

Ardbeg 16 Year Old 1991 Rum Cask Old Malt Cask (Douglas Laing) 70cl 50% is a rare independent bottling of the famous Islay single malt Scotch whisky. Distilled in 1991 at the renowned Ardbeg Distillery and bottled by Douglas Laing for their respected Old Malt Cask series, this expression offers a unique interpretation of Ardbeg’s smoky character.

This particular release was matured for 16 years and finished in rum casks, creating a fascinating contrast between Ardbeg’s signature peat smoke and the sweeter, tropical influence of rum wood. The combination introduces additional layers of flavour while preserving the powerful maritime style that Ardbeg is known for.

The Old Malt Cask series is highly regarded among whisky enthusiasts for presenting carefully selected single cask whiskies with minimal intervention. Bottled at 50% ABV, this expression delivers enhanced depth, intensity, and complexity.

A vintage Ardbeg distilled in 1991 and matured for 16 years represents a particularly desirable release for collectors, especially with the unusual rum cask influence adding a rare twist to the classic Islay profile.
