Ardbeg 21 Years Private Single Cask 1565 Oloroso Whisky

Ardbeg 21 Years Private Single Cask 1565 Oloroso Whisky is a remarkable, limited-edition expression from the iconic Islay distillery, distilled in 2000 and bottled exclusively from Cask 1565, an Oloroso Sherry Butt. Aged for 21 years, this non-chill filtered, cask-strength single malt offers profound depth and complexity. The nose is greeted by rich notes of dark chocolate, caramel, and toffee, beautifully layered with accents of smoked orange peel, dried fruit, and signature Ardbeg peat smoke. The palate is intense and full-bodied, delivering an excellent balance of sweetness, luscious red fruits, and a powerful smoke that remains discreetly spicy towards the finish. A true collector's whisky, best enjoyed neat to appreciate its unique sherry and smoke maturation.
