About

Ardbeg - 1979 is a distinguished single malt whisky hailing from the renowned Ardbeg distillery on the picturesque Isle of Islay, Scotland. This original bottling exemplifies the rich heritage and craftsmanship of one of Islay's most celebrated producers, with an ABV of 43.00%. On the nose, it presents a captivating sweetness intertwined with wood and a distinctive smoky aroma reminiscent of smoked ham, complemented by subtle oak notes. The palate reveals a harmonious blend of sweetness, ash, and smoke, enhanced by iodine and a unique phenolic soapiness. With the addition of water, the whisky transforms, revealing a fruitier profile with faint hints of cinnamon, culminating in a long, phenolic finish marked by enduring peat smoke.
