The Epicurean Trader® Ardbeg Distillery – ‘The Legend Returns: Committee Exclusive’ 17yr Islay Single Malt Scotch (750ML) – 9507001794867

An exceptional Ardbeg Single Malt Scotch Whisky from the esteemed Scotland distiller, Ardbeg 17 Years Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a high-quality Single Malt Scotch Whisky.

The good people at Ardbeg revived this iconic whisky 20 years after its discontinuation, back in 2004. Just like the classic 17-year-old, this beguiling single malt offers an elegant and nuanced expression of the Ardbeg distillery character. The nose is remarkably clean and precise, with aromas of sea air, spruce and subtle florals. On the palate you’ll find subtle peat smoke, vanilla toffee and a hint of earthy cacao nibs.
