Ardbeg knows how to make a Whisky. We didn’t need to tell you that. So you probably already know that when some vintage casks or bottles resurface, everyone wants a piece of that peaty delicacy.

Well…

This distillate from 1978 is just that: a rare limited edition drop bottled back in 1999 that showcases the best of Ardbeg.

Whisky distilling goes way back to 1494 when the first recorded batch was made by a posse of monks who acquired about 60 gallons of barley and decided to turn it into "aqua vitae". They created the first 1,500 bottles of Scotch in History.
Scotch Whisky is seldom aged in new barrels. Bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey casks are usually used for maturation. In addition to that, Whisky is often matured or finished in various wine casks such as Sherry or Port.
Categories of Scotch Whisky: Single malt, Blended malt (formerly called Vatted malt), blended, single grain and blended grain Scotch.
Ardbeg's signature 10YO won "World Whisky of the Year" in 2008.
90% of all Scotch Whiskies sold are Blends.
Can Scotch go bad? Technically, an unopened bottle of Scotch can last forever. Air is the only true evil to Whisky; once the liquid is oxidized it is no longer immortal. After opening, as long as you store your Whisky in a cool, dry place, it will last another 5 years.
