Ardbeg 1998 / Almost There Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

70cl / 54.1% / Distillery Bottling – Following on from Very Young and Still Young, Ardbeg Almost There showed the final stage in the evolution of young cask-strength Ardbeg 1998 before it blossomed into the Renaissance 10 yr-old. As you would expect, this is a mellower, more rounded, better balanced dram than the younger incarnations.
