Type: Single Malt Scotch
Tasting Notes
Nose: Billows of kiln smoke and sea-spray mingle with lime zest, vanilla pod, toasted marshmallow and a hint of medicinal peat.
Palate: An explosive rush of charcoal embers, briny toffee and liquorice root floods the tongue, chased by creamy vanilla fudge, cracked black pepper and a bright flash of grapefruit peel.
Finish: Long, smouldering and lightly drying—lingering camp-fire ash, salted caramel and a final flourish of charred-oak spice.
Capture pure, cask-fresh Islay power with Ardbeg 10 Year Old – 1999 Vintage, Single Cask #1924.

Each of the 222 individually numbered bottles was hand-signed by Ardbeg’s distillery manager, preserving the distillery’s trademark tarry peat wrapped in creamy vanilla, toasted coconut and zesty citrus at peak ten-year vibrancy.
