Description

Known for its outstandingly smoky drams, the Islay Distillery, Ardbeg was founded by John McDougall in 1815 after taking out a licence. Just under a century later, the name ‘Ardbeg’ and signature ‘A’ was registered as a trademark, an iconic recognisable logo for the distillery. Further on in the 20th century, the distillery started outsourcing, using a peated malt from the nearby Port Ellen Distillery in 1974 just before Ardbeg was mothballed for the first time in 1981. Reopened again by Allied Distillers in 1989, it was not long before the distillery was closed for a second time, however, the Glenmorangie Company saved the day by purchasing Ardbeg just before both Glenmorangie and Ardbeg became part of Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy. Being awarded World Whisky of the Year more than once, the distillery will continue to succeed, with the plans submitted of increasing the distillation capacity by adding not one, but two more stills in 2018, Ardbeg is only going upwards from here.

Bottled at the cask strength of 54.2% ABV, this limited edition Ardbeg was created from a marriage of single malt from bourbon barrels and sherry butts. This gives a sweet and smoky finish.  It is named after the Loch that all the Ardbeg water flows. This Ardbeg is often said to be the best value in the Ardbeg core range, following the demise of Airigh Nam Beist.
