Ardbeg’s NEWEST Single Cask – 15 Year Old Madeira Barrique!

Yes, you did read that correctly! Just YESTERDAY, Ardbeg released a brand new, distillery exclusive, single cask! And there is TWO of them to be won here at Luxury & Rare!!

I went up to the distillery in the midst of Storm Barra yesterday and picked these up. Wholly matured for 15 years in Cask no.2643, a 1st fill Madeira Barrique, this is the FIRST and ONLY Ardbeg EVER to be released in a Madeira Barrique! There are only 319 bottles available from the distillery only, and was bottled at cask strength of 53.7%. According to the staff at Ardbeg, if you decide to open this you can expect a really rich dram full of spicy fruits accompanied by that delicious Ardbeg smoke.

Ardbeg Single Casks, especially ones only released at the distillery, have quickly gained a cult following, with bottles sometimes tripling their value overnight. Each bottle will also be accompanied by an Ardbeg hat and gloves to keep you warm this winter…
