Product description

Ardbeg Vintage 23Y Y2K is a whisky that was created to celebrate the landmark year 2000 for the legendary Islay distillery. After an intensive refurbishment and modernisation that lasted three years, this year marked a rebirth and a new era for Ardbeg, with the distillery once again ready to set its 'rocket engines' on an upward trajectory.

Ardbeg Vintage 23Y Y2K was matured in bourbon and sherry casks, giving it a unique combination of fresh citrus notes, intense sweetness and a characteristic smokiness. Its bottling in 2023 ensures that every drop of this whisky carries the spirit of optimism and enthusiasm that has guided the new millennium.

Tasting Profile:

Colour: Pale amber, a reflection of long maturation and quality.

Nose: Distinctly herbal and sweet with notes of lemon balm, linseed oil and candied walnuts. The addition of water reveals even more intense heather honey and a light touch of tar.

Taste: Intensely sweet to start, with a gradual development of aniseed, caramel, malt biscuit, mint and ground coffee notes, finishing with a subtle tar. The texture of the whisky evokes a sense of gentle pearl, which adds a sparkling hopefulness.

Finish: Long and full-bodied, with dominant notes of charred wood and ash, delivering a memorable finish.

History and Heritage: 

In 2000, when Ardbeg underwent major changes under the new management of the Glenmorangie Company, not only the physical appearance of the distillery changed, but also the essence of the brand itself. It was the year that the Ardbeg Committee, a community of supporters of the brand, was formed and Shortie the dog was introduced as mascot.

Ardbeg Vintage 23Y Y2K is not only a whisky for lovers of island whiskies, but also for collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate both its taste and its place in the distillery's history. This edition represents a rare piece of history, distilled at the end of one millennium and matured in the next, and carries with it a story of renewal and new beginnings.

This rare and richly layered whisky is a perfect example of how Ardbeg has continually embodied the spirit of innovation and quality, while maintaining its roots in the rich history and tradition of Islay whisky.

Producer's address: Ardbeg Distillery Limited, Ilse of Islay, PA42 7EA Argyll, Schottland, GB
