Ardbeg is an Islay single malt Scotch whisky distillery founded in 1815. The Glenmorangie Company bought the distillery in 1997 and returned it to full-time production.
Fresh, precise, taut, citrusy and tarry, this whisky impresses most with its remarkable combination of thickness and freshness.
Fresh, precise and resinous, this Ardbeg balances tarry peat with oysters, seaweed and lemons, finishing refreshingly with salted mint and aniseed.
