Lord Robertson (the other Lord of the Isles) Single Cask bottling released!

Lord Robertson Single Cask bottling in support of Erskine

Ardbeg single cask bottlings don’t appear often, but this one is particularly special. In 2000, to commemorate the distillery visit of then NATO Secretary General Lord Robertson (native of Port Ellen), cask number 1217 was laid down.

10 years on, this special cask has been bottled. The outturn was just 202 bottles. And each and every one has been hand signed by Lord Robertson. They will be available in the online Shop on Wednesday the 7th July from 9am.

All proceeds from the sale of these rare bottles will go to Erskine, a worthy charity supported by Lord Robertson, which provides nursing and medical care for former members of the Armed Forces.

Description

Tasting Notes

The whisky has a superb complexity and incredible finesse and balance. The peat is sophisticated and sweet with chocolate and toffee, smoky violets and creamy meringue with cherry pie, clove and star anise. The palate is dark and deep yet also sensuous and gentle – peat smoke, sweet barley and cocoa.

A mighty whisky with supreme delicacy.

Background

This rare Ardbeg single cask bottling was laid down 10 years ago to commemorate the distillery visit of Lord Robertson, formerly NATO secretary general.

Born in Port Ellen, Lord Robertson could be considered the original Lord of the Isles and is an Ileach through and through. He has hand signed all 202 bottles from this special cask.

As a dedicated supporter of Erskine, the charity that cares for ex-service men and women, all proceeds from the sale of Lord Robertson’s Single Cask bottling will be donated to this worthy charity.
