Ardbeg 1994 Islay Single Malt — 26-Year-Old Cadenhead’s Authentic Collection

Description

Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Bottled by: Cadenhead’s 70cl / 47.4%

A 1994 Ardbeg 26-year-old single cask bottled in 2021 by Cadenhead’s without colouring or chill filtration for their Authentic Collection.

This Cadenhead’s 26-year-old Ardbeg 1994 matured in an ex-bourbon hogshead cask that yielded 210 bottles at its natural cask strength of 47.4%. Mid-90s Ardbegs are typically very good indeed, though they tend differ from both their 1970s and 1980s predecessors and today’s modern equivalents.

Islay whiskies of this age usually have much gentler phenols than their younger counterparts, so expect gristy, meaty notes, earthy, ashy phenols, rounded vanilla sweetness, soot and citrus fruit.
