Laid down in the year 2000 amidst the millennium bug frenzy, Ardbeg Y2K 24 years old is the second release of this serendipitous, rare stock. 

Matured in bourbon casks, with a portion downloaded into amontillado sherry casks to be finished, a first for Ardbeg. This transmits subtle notes of creamy toffee, flowering blackcurrants and almonds, with flickers of damp moss and graphite. Its astonishing power surges on the palate, as woodsmoke merges with cinnamon spice, linseed oil and eucalyptus. 

This is the first ever non-single cask release of Ardbeg finished in Amontillado casks married with classic Ardbeg. Amontillado is Dr Bill’s favourite sherry. 

Non-chill filtered.

Amontillado Sherry & Bourbon Casks, ABV 47.8%. 70cl.

TASTING NOTES
PERFECT SERVE
ORIGIN

Appearance: Bright Amber

Aroma: Pungent, deep, aromatic and spicy, with beautiful notes of creamy toffee, flowering blackcurrants, creosote, coal tar soap, antique leather and almond nuts, with a splash of water, hints of charcoal, graphite and damp moss emerge, along with a distinct sooty note.

Taste: Astonishingly powerful and spicy on the palate, with a burst of deep intense, smoky flavours – coal tar mingles with woodsmoke, while antiseptic lozenges meet bonfire embers. The Amontillado sherry casks are present, albeit in the background, with subtle notes of toffee, leather, cinnamon and clove.

Finish: Long and lingering aftertaste, there are hints of menthol, eucalyptus, linseed oil and charcoal.

Enjoy neat, with a little water or 2-3 large rocks of ice.
