After aging for 6 years in oak barrels, adhering to the purest traditions of HSE's old rums, this special cuvée has been finished in Ardbeg casks. Ardbeg is a renowned Single Malt from the Isle of Islay in Northern Scotland, known for its distinctive smoky character. This particular bottle, the HSE 2002 Sardbeg Cask Finish, boasts a 44% ABV and comes in a 700ml size, perfectly capturing the essence of both HSE's craftsmanship and Ardbeg's iconic peatiness.
This rum is unique due to its finishing process in Ardbeg casks, which imparts a distinctive smoky flavor that complements the traditional aging in oak barrels.
