Ardbeg 1972 / Cask #868 Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

70cl / 48.5% / Distillery Bottling – An old single cask Ardbeg 1972 bottled from a bourbon hogshead for the Swedish market. This is from a batch of famous bourbon casks done for various markets in 2004 which met with critical acclaim and, inevitably, people complaining about the prices (which were around £300 at the time). Hindsight’s a beautiful thing, isn’t it?
