ARDBEG AURIVERDES FEIS ILE 2014 - GOLD EDITION
ISLAY SINGLE MALT
The rare gold Auriverdes was given to journalists, distillery ambassadors and bloggers to promote the official release in advance of the 2014 Feis Ile.
49.9% ABV / 70cl
Located on the island’s rugged south coast, Ardbeg distillery represents the peatier end of the Islay spectrum. While it has endured some tough times, spending several years mothballed, the distillery has undergone a bit of a renaissance since being bought over by Glenmorangie and is now on a stable footing.
While it still retains its signature sooty spirit, Ardbeg has also adopted its new parent company’s fondness for experimental cask finishes, arguably increasing its appeal.
A condition report is offered as an indication of any issues visible to the naked eye. As none of our staff is a professional conservator or restorer, buyers must satisfy themselves in respect of condition. The condition report does not form part of any contract between McTear's and the buyer, and all lots are offered "as is" in accordance with our Terms of Business available on our website.
£1,200 - £1,800
Buyer's premium: 24.00%
