While the year 2000 will be remembered by many for bootcut jeans, flip phones and the elusive millennium bug, it went down in Ardbeg history for very different reasons. 

Following decades of neglect, the Distillery had been saved from extinction by The Glenmorangie Company in 1997 and meticulously restored. As the clock ticked over from 1999 to 2000, Ardbeg was returning to full production. And while the rest of the world partied, with many distilleries shut down in fear of computerised chaos, its dedicated stillmen stayed up all night to keep the spirit flowing.  

Crafted with some of the very first spirit of the millennium, the inaugural edition in the Ardbeg Vintage Y2K series is unlike anything that came before. It was distilled in the historic still which served Ardbeg for 51 years, before being retired in 2001. And with an increased rigour applied to cask selection under the new ownership, the whisky was laid down in some of the finest bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks around. 

Committee Chair and Distillery Visitor Centre Manager Jackie Thomson said: “The turn of the millennium was a milestone for Ardbeg in so many ways – not least the formation of our Committee, the lifeblood of Ardbeg. With Y2K fashion and culture now back with a vengeance, we’re inviting Ardbeggians to turn back time to a remarkable year and enjoy the spirit of Ardbeg Vintage_Y2K.

TASTING NOTES

COLOUR: Pale Amber

AROMA: Herbal, sweet and fragrant, with a subtle, distant perfumed smokiness. Next a quirky, zesty note like lemon balsam emerges, along with a suggestion of linseed oil and candied walnuts. A splash of water and the fragrance intensifies, emitting heather honey, a touch of creosote and the tiniest trace of tent canvas.

TASTE: The texture is fizzy and effervescing (sherbety), with a real, vibrant effervescence on the tongue. At first the flavour is intensely sweet, then shifts as aniseed, toffee, digestive biscuits, peppermint, menthol, tar and coffee grits burst through.

FINISH: The sooty/tarry flavours keep building, until they finally dissolve into a long, lingering aftertaste of antiseptic lozenges, bitter oranges and oak tannins.

The Heritage Of The Sun
ARARAT "Erebuni 50" premium blend is a harmonious combination of more than 50 types of rare spirits, the oldest of which — the rarest sample of the distillery’s storage — is 104 years old. Distillates are made exclusively from grapes grown in the Ararat Valley, they contain all the power of nature. The gift package and the design of the decanter are inspired by the history of Armenia and the heritage of many generations of the factory’s craftsmen. Golden details remind of the symbolic wings of the ancient gods, whose images adorn the bas-reliefs of the Erebuni fortress to this day.

Inspired by its appearance in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Romulan Ale has become legendary.

Crafted from premium Midwest grain in Napa, this vodka is distilled four times to 192 proof before being cut to 80 proof. Produced by a family of thirteen generations, it features a clean profile without off notes, with a hint of corn sweetness and a bright wheat aroma.

Romulan Ale Blue Vodka boasts an electric blue color and leaves a striking blue coat in the glass. Not highly filtered, it retains a rich body and mouthfeel.

This iconic tribute is the result of a remarkable journey. Live Long and Prosper!
