Ardbeg Grooves Limited Edition 4.5 Litre / with Display Stand

You would not think it to see it now, but Ardbeg had a difficult time of it for much of the 20th century. The distillery was bought in a joint venture between Hiram Walker and DCL in 1959, both intending to supply their blends. The subsequent years were very successful, but DCL backed out in 1979 (closing many of their other distilleries a few years later), and Hiram Walker then struggled in the 1980s era oversupply when interest is blended Scotch was waning. They closed it down for the majority of the decade. It re-opened briefly in the 1990s before being revived for good by Glenmorangie plc in 1997.

The 2018 limited edition release, this was matured in heavily charred casks (presenting a grooved surface hence the name). The expression was oficially released at the Ardbeg open day during the 2018 Feis Ile.

This 4.5 litre bottle of the Ardbeg Grooves is presented on a light-up display stand.

Please note the display stand power cable is fitted with a Type G plug, intended for UK power outlets.

NOTE: This lot will include a seven bottle shipping fee.
