Ardbeg Vintage Y2K is Ardbeg Islay single malt Scotch whisky’s first vintage of the millennium. This ultra-rare whisky is the first in a highly limited collectors’ series created from the spirit of this milestone Ardbeggian year. In 2000, the Distillery returned to glory after decades of neglect and the loyal Ardbeg Committee was formed. Crafted from some of the first spirit of that era of regeneration, in Ardbeg’s historic still, the inaugural edition of the Ardbeg Vintage Y2K series is unlike anything which came before. Aged in the finest bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks around, this smoky anomaly is intensely sweet and classically peaty. Aromas of lemon balsam reminisce with linseed oil and heather honey, while soot and peppermint stir up memories of ground coffee and aniseed on the palate.
