Ardbeg-12 year old-1970s
Bottled in mid 1970's. Imported by Sutti, Milano. Bottled by WM. Cadenhead, 47 Netherkirkgate, Aberdeen
Good labelling, slightly detached and bin-soiled neck label. Level: high to mid shoulder.

"...Mouth: really punchy, without any tiredness or dryness from all this time in glass. Picks up where it stopped on the nose, with again touches of roses (Turkish delights) and kumquats, then more straight peat smoke, tar, liquorice and soot/ashes. Quite some salt as well, caraway seeds, prunes, black raisins (sherry wood, probably!) and bitter oranges, with a saltiness that never stops growing bigger. Touches of strong herbal digestif ala Underberg together with more and more salmiak. Amazingly big after all these years." (5 Stars-Whiskyfun)
75cl. Single Malt., 46% volume.
