Ardbeg 21 Year Old Committee Release 2001 70cl/56.3%

Released in July 2001, this is a vatting of 12 bourbon casks, which were hand-chosen exclusively for the Ardbeg committee.

Officially launched in January 2000, the Ardbeg Committee is a fan club that loosely tasked with safeguarding the distillery from a return to its darker days of the previous century. Open to anyone to register, the club has access to exclusive releases like this one, which are never available to the general public. Membership also have access to a private room at the distillery and are asked to adhere to semi-tongue in cheek set of Committee rules, one of which warns of grave consequences for those who mix their Ardbeg with anything other than water.

One of only 2,500 bottles, each signed by Stuart Thomson.
