Ardbeg Still Young 8 Year Old (2006) 70cl

Ardbeg Still Young 8 Year Old (2006) 70cl

This youthful Ardbeg, first released in 2004, is now released just over one year on, as we follow the path to Ardbeg 10 years old. 'Still Young' is a wonderfully robust Ardbeg, still peaty and gristy but ageing well.

The path to maturity 1998 - 2008

Since the distillery re-opened in 1997, many enthusiasts of Ardbeg have been keen to sample our work in progress - none more so than the worldwide aficionados of the Ardbeg Committee, formed to 'ensure that the doors of Ardbeg distillery never close again'. It was to them that we released a limited bottling of Very Young Ardbeg to elcit their comments.

'Still Young' Ardbeg, bottled in 2006, is another step along this peaty road and in 2007, a final limited release 'Almost There' will complete the journey to full maturity.

The Still Young is the second release in Ardbeg's journey to the new 10 year old.

Peaty aroma, but hints of classic Ardbeg limes. Tar creaminess and pepperiness in the mouthfeel. Flavours of fruit, vanilla, toffee apples and treacle toffee. Sweet, malty and smoky.

* Box has some minor wear on lid with crease from picking up at the top of the box. The bottle is pristine.
