Ardbeg 1974 / 19 Year Old / Cask 4390+91 / Signatory Islay Whisky

A rare 1974 Ardbeg bottled by Signatory after 19 years in oak — a composed, historically significant Islay malt from an era when the distillery's survival was far from guaranteed. At £1,100 it commands serious money, but delivers serious whisky.
