1973 Ardbeg 30 Year Old Single Cask Douglas Laing 51.9%

£4,167

Notes from the producer:
Richly coloured, it is immediately an Ardbeg on uncorking the bottle: hefty on Islay aromatic character and full of iodine with its sea-weedy sourness. The body is smooth, the palate alive with smoke, salt and seaweed; running to a long finish crammed with typical Islay tastes of tidal territorial treats.

Presented with a certificate of authenticity signed by Fred Laing.
