Ardbeg Vintage_Y2K 25 Year Remember the year 1999? A time of frenzy and panic surrounding the millennium bug. People everywhere going crazy predicting computerised chaos, digital meltdown and an end to everything. ​ For Ardbeg, the year 2000 was truly a momentous year. With the renovation of the Ardbeg Distillery in place, Dr. Bill Lumsden and the whisky creation team worked their magic on this serendipitous rare stock. Ardbeg Vintage_Y2K is a series of limited releases from the year 2000.​ Combining old and new, it merges modern, innovative whisky techniques whilst using the old Ardbeg stills.​ Laid down in 2000, this is the third and final release from this serendipitous stock. Left to buffer for 25 years, it was discovered unfinished by Dr Bill. Selecting a finish worthy of such precious malt, he grants us access to a fully upgraded, ultra-rare Ardbeg.
