Ardbeg 1975 / 29 Year Old / Sherry Cask / Douglas Laing Islay Whisky

70cl / 47.3% / Douglas Laing – An epic Ardbeg, this is one of Douglas Laing’s earlier Platinum series releases from 2004. Some old Ardbegs are sweet and fruity, but here the emphasis is very much on the smoke with the fruit and sweetness in the background. A belter.
