Ardbeg 1975 15 Year Old - Sestante "White Label"
These "white label" bottles were actually existing Wm. Cadenhead releases that Ernesto Mainardi purchased in Scotland and imported to Italy. As he was not the licensed distributor for Wm. Cadenhead, the labels were changed at the customs office in Cesena upon import to avoid any conflict of interests.
This very rare example of Ardbeg is a re-labelling of a 1975 vintage, originally bottled by Cadenhead in November 1990. It was selected by Mainardi especially for Giorgio d'Ambrosio's Bar Metrò in Milan.
Ardbeg
A distillery located on the south coast of the Isle of Islay. It is currently part of the Scotch whisky holdings of LVMH. Despite being closed twice in the latter 20th century, the distillery's heavily-peated single malt has always been highly-regarded.
William Cadenhead
The oldest independent bottling company in Scotland and one of the earliest and foremost advocates for the single malt category, launching its iconic "dumpy" bottlings in 1977. Its flagship brand is the Authentic Collection, supported by a prolific outturn of additional releases each month.
