Distillery description

Ardbeg is a Scottish distillery located on the south-west coast of Islay, founded in 1815 by John MacDougall. Known for its intensely peaty and smoky whiskies, Ardbeg has undergone several periods of closure, particularly in the 1980s and 1990s, but was revitalized in 1997 when it was acquired by the Glenmorangie Company, part of LVMH. Its whiskies often feature seaweed, citrus, and spice notes, maturing mainly in American oak (ex-bourbon) and sherry casks, along with experimental wine casks. The Ardbeg Committee, founded in 2000, releases exclusive annual bottlings for its members.

Bottle description

Ardbeg 1991 is a single malt whisky released by independent bottler Douglas Laing as part of their prestigious Old Malt Cask range. The whisky was distilled in March 1991 and bottled in September 2007 after 16 years of aging. The specifics of this bottling are that the whisky was finished in a rum cask with the reference No. DL3893.

Nose: A combination of peat smoke and tropical fruit, with a hint of vanilla and spice.

Taste: Full and rich, with pronounced smoke, sweetness from rum, and notes of ripe fruit. Notes of oak and light spice appear in the background.

Finish: Long and complex, with lingering smoky and fruity notes, finishing with a touch of rum sweetness.

The auctioned bottle is one of only 335 bottles and is ideal for Islay whisky lovers looking for an unusual combination of peat and tropical notes thanks to maturation in a rum barrel.
