An Ardbeg distilled on 8th March 1967, matured in single sherry cask number 923 until June 1996.
This was bottled by Kingsbury who mostly export to Japan.
A 29 year old Sherry casked Ardbeg... this is certainly as rare as a Unicorn.
Official
Quite profound sherry despite the close attentions of the peat on the nose; initially fat on the palate with a sweetish, silky malt middle which gives way to first fruit, then peat, then, as it dries, oak and finally a very deep wave of peat. Big and highly complex.

Colour: full amber. Nose: extraordinary honeyed attack (chestnut, fir) with superb notes of old sweet wines (Yquem springs to mind) and all sorts of herbs. Verbena, citronella, chamomile… Then it gets all on roasted nuts and milk chocolate, bourbon vanilla, nougat… The peat is wonderfully integrated. We have also a great meatiness (well-hung game, smoked ham) as well as quite some wax polish (grandma’s cupboard). Symphonic.
Mouth: amazing attack. Totally amazing. Bold, majestic, powerful but never overpowering… All kinds of nuts and fruits, chocolates, ganaches, rare spices (saffron), ginger, quince jelly, balsamic vinegar. And the peat? You may ask. It’s well here, crouched behind the sherry, providing this wonderful dram with even more structure and zing. Amazing. Finish: long, toasted, peaty, jammy, nutty… It’s got everything. 96 points.
