Ardbeg 15-Year 2009 Single Cask Release by The Rare Cask Company

Rare Ardbeg Single Cask Release by The Rare Cask Company

Ardbeg 15 Years Old 2009 The Limited Whisky Collection #2 The Rare Cask Company represents a rare independent bottling of Ardbeg, offered by The Rare Cask Company. This 15-year-old single malt from 2009 is the second edition in the “The Limited Whisky Collection” series. Distilled on Islay and bottled at cask strength, it is a prime example of a single cask release that captures the distinct character of its origin while retaining purity through natural, non-chill-filtered, and uncolored production.

Maturation & Flavor Profile

Matured exclusively in an ex-bourbon hogshead, this whisky carries a complex flavor profile. The spirit opens with peat smoke layered with fresh citrus notes of lemon zest and cool mint, alongside fruity aromas featuring apricot and white peach. On the palate, bright fruits meet creamy vanilla, sweet raisin, and salted caramel complexities. The finish is long and warming, with dark chocolate, spicy oak, and ashy peat smoke rounding out the experience.
