Ardbeg 17 Year Old
70cl / 40%
Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling
A tad less peaty than early bottlings, the classic Ardbeg 17yo is still a great whisky, but is sadly becoming very thin on the ground as demand increases and supply runs low - it's now a good few years since owners Glenmorangie discontinued it. The first bottling of this sparked the revival of Ardbeg's fortunes after the takeover by Glenmorangie.
£250.00
(£208.33 ex. VAT)

This is an amazing dram, me and my friend polished off a bottle this year when we visited Arran. looking to buy another bottle, its a bit pricier than when I first got a bottle for £17 about six years ago. Beautiful dram!!

My husband left his unopened boxed bottle behind when he ran off with his girlfriend.....5 years ago - very nice to see the price rising from £40.....means he will actually "pay his way" at some point in the future.......tee hee........

Ah THE classic 'drinking' Ardbeg! Used to buy it frequently when it was ?30-?35 quid. Nearly as good as the fabled 1974. Fond memories of mountain days and bothy nights with this dram. Sadly missed. Uigeadail is good too though.

Gutted that I opened this after it lurked in the cupboard....not really, quite terrrrrific....this is just so full on peat with finese, quite the fantastic, smooth, silky and stunning ardbeg

Gosh, I bought it for 29 quid in Edinburg in 1997.

This was about £35, not £45 in 1998 - in Scotland at least. I know because I used to work in an offy in Glasgow. Just shows what a legend this bottling has become.

Hard to believe that it now costs over 200 pounds. I can remember first buying this back in 1998 for 45 pounds from asda of all places!!! That was when i first fell in love Ardbeg. It is an absolute gem of a whisky.

I came back from Japan in June 09 and found a bottle of this in my storage room. It had been there 12 years. It's November and have about 1/4 left. It is a very decadent way to ride the depression unemployed. Pathetic but heavenly. :P

17 yr old is my favourite of all Ardbegs! My final bottle of 17 year old is only opened at "the bells" for me and my wife. Absolutely fantastic !
