Ardbeg 23 Year Old Vintage Y2K Limited Release
Ardbeg Vintage Y2K 23 Year Old is a new Limited Edition series, created during a milestone year at the Islay based distillery. ‘Y2K’ is pronounced ‘Year-Two-K’, which stands for the year 2000.
Year 2000 was a special time for the Ardbeg Distillery, as it had just resumed production after years of standstill and purchase by Glenmorangie in 1997. Ardbeg Vintage Y2K run out of the old still, which was removed in 2001 after 51 years of use. Also, year 2000 was the year when Ardbeg Committee (the distillery’s official fan club) was founded.
Ardbeg Vintage_Y2K was distilled in 2000, matured in bourbon and sherry casks and bottled in 2023.
This millennium Special Edition is announced as the first in a new vintage series.
Nose: Herbal, sweet and fragrant, with a distant, subtly fragrant smokiness. A closer look reveals tangy notes of lemon balm, linseed oil and candied walnuts. The flavour intensifies with a splash of water, followed by notes of heather honey, creosote and some tarpaulin.
Taste: A tingling, sorbet-like structure, vibrating on the tongue. The initial flavour is intensely sweet, with a burst of aniseed, toffee, digestive biscuits, peppermint, menthol, tar and coffee grounds. Sooty and tarry flavours then develop.
Finish: The long, lingering aftertaste reveals notes of antiseptic lozenges, bitter orange peel and oak tannins.
