A famously good bottling from the 1970s from Ardbeg despite not being single cask, being bottled at 46% instead of the usual 40 or 43% definitely helps. This is one of those bottles that is a must-have for anyone who is a fan of smoky whisky

A prime example of excellent Ardbeg from the 1970s, surprisingly sweet for an oak cask matured Ardbeg

An excellent late 90s single cask Ardbeg from Kingsbury, especially for the price of just 340£, which is much more affordable than any of the OB Ardbeg Single Cask from the 90s and the 2000s!


An elegant old Ardbeg, although I would have loved for it to be a bit smokier & punchy. At 170 SGD for a 2cl dram, definitely not an affordable dram by any means but I would say that it’s worth the money and experience given that it was my first 1960s Ardbeg!


For 60 SGD per 2cl dram, I think this is good value for a 1970s Ardbeg especially if you’re a fan of a more mellow, balanced smoky dram instead of a more punchy, aggressive, in-your-face kind of smoke and there’s just not a lot of complexity in the thin palate

An excellent Ardbeg that reminds me of Ardbegs from the 1970s for only a fraction of the price, a lovely dram & beautiful bottle from Elixir Distillers
