Ardbeg Renaissance 1998/2008 Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 55.9%

Ardbeg Renaissance is a legendary release that marks the distillery’s rebirth after its reopening in the late 1990s. This whisky is 10 years old and bottled at cask strength, offering an intense and authentic experience of Ardbeg’s distinctive style.

The whisky has been matured in ex-bourbon casks, highlighting the classic combination of powerful peat smoke, sea salt, and citrus, balanced by sweet vanilla tones from the wood. On the nose, you are met with intense smoke, fresh sea breeze, citrus, and spicy sweetness. The palate is full-bodied and complex, with layers of peat, pepper, salted caramel, and ripe fruits. The finish is long, persistent, and intense, with a perfect balance of smoke, spice, and sweetness.

Ardbeg Renaissance was launched as the culmination of the “Path to Peaty Maturity” series and today stands as a collector’s favorite and an icon in modern whisky history. With its combination of raw power, deep complexity, and historical significance, it is a must for any Ardbeg enthusiast and a unique addition to any serious whisky collection.
