product Details
Ardbeg 1974 Sestante 18 Year Old / White Crest
A very, very rare Ardbeg indeed, distilled in 1974 and bottled as an 18 year old by Sestante.
Released under the White Crest label which included a number of released from Ardbeg as well as other distilleries.
The Sestante import company was founded in the 1970s by Ernesto Mainardi, and he bottled his first single casks under the name in 1985. Alongside his contemporary, Silvano Samaroli, Mainardi pioneered giving his customers a choice of both standard 40-46% bottlings, and cask strength releases from the same casks. Along with his other brand, Silver Seal, Mainardi's bottlings are incredibly sought after.
