Ardbeg 1978 Bottled 1999 / Unique Strength

The Story goes that this bottling was a result of an error in the bottling. The ABV was reduced to 42.4% as opposed to the 43% which was the strength of the standard 1978 Ardbeg. Rather than mixing it with other casks to correct the strength, they bottled it as a one-off and sold it separately from the standard 43% product.

An official corrected label was produced to show the actual strength, but unlike the regular bottle this was sold unboxed. Available for a brief window in 1999, most of these were no doubt enjoyed by drinkersmaking this is a very rare bottling these days.
