Ardbeg 1991

Ardbeg 1991 Samaroli / Handwritten Label 2001

An independent bottling of Ardbeg, distilled in 1991 and bottled in 2001 after being matured in a cask# 631.

Samaroli is perhaps Italy's most revered independent bottler of Scotch whisky. With an impeccable taste in single cask whiskies, and an eye for aesthetics (if not English spelling at times!), he is regarded by many as a visionary. Many of his bottles now occupy deserved sports on the pantheon of whisky greats.

This is one of two 2001 bottlings featuring labels handwritten in fountain pen by Samaroli and himself, and then reprinted. The other is a 1973 vintage Longmorn. Presented in the black squat bottle style introduced by the company the year before, which is still preferred today.

Bottle number 126 of 621 bottles.
