The Ardbeg Guaranteed 30 Year Old is a significant release, distilled and bottled by the Ardbeg Distillery Limited, situated on the Isle of Islay, Scotland. An original distillery bottling, this single malt whisky was bottled in 1996, making it one of the last releases by the Allied distillers before the distillery was taken over by Glenmorangie in 1997.
This specific release was limited to a mere 29 casks, contributing to its exclusivity. The whisky boasts an age statement of 30 years, indicating the extended maturation period that it underwent. The strength of this single malt scotch whisky is 40% ABV, and it comes in a standard 70cl (700 ml) bottle.
As for its packaging, the whisky was presented in an original wooden box, further amplifying its appeal to collectors. It is crucial to note that this specific bottling series is referred to as the 'Guaranteed 30 Years Old', a testament to the quality and maturity of the spirit contained within.
The production of this Ardbeg was during a time when the distillery had its own floor maltings, a process that ceased in the late 1970s. The limited edition nature of this release, coupled with its maturation period and the historic context of its production, makes it a coveted addition to any whisky collection.
