Own a crown-jewel from Islay’s past with Ardbeg 29 Year Old – 1975 Vintage, Old & Rare “Platinum Selection” (Douglas Laing, Cask #—).
Filled into a single first-fill Oloroso sherry butt in March 1975 and resting undisturbed in Warehouse 2 for almost three decades, the whisky was drawn at full natural cask strength in October 2004 for Douglas Laing’s prestigious Old & Rare Platinum line. Only 255 individually numbered bottles emerged, each capturing Ardbeg’s tarry, medicinal peat now smoothed by age and saturated with dark-fruit richness, polished mahogany and maritime spice—a once-in-a-generation dram from Islay’s smoky icon.
