Ardbeg
The name of the Ardbeg distillery means “little hill”. It is located on the south coast of the whisky island of Islay on the way from the harbour town of Port Ellen to Kildalton. The site of the current distillery was already popular with moonshiners. After a very eventful history with intermittent closures and family-owned operation until 1959, Ardbeg was taken over by Glenmorangie PLC in 1997, which in turn was bought by Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy in 2004, and has since become one of Scotland’s most famous distilleries, known for its smoky, peaty and salty bottlings with strong phenolic tones. The distillery’s water comes from Loch Arinambeast and Loch Uigeadail, after which 2 bottlings are also named. Ardbeg’s 200th birthday was celebrated in 2015.
Furthermore, Ardbeg no longer owns its own malt house, but sources the malt with a phenolic content of 56.2 ppm from the Port Ellen malt house. A three-year expansion from 2018 – 2021 increased the production volume from 1,000,000 litres of alcohol to almost 2,400,000 litres of alcohol. In the past, a few Ardbegs have been bottled independently. Nowadays, everything goes into the own brand and is not found in blends either. Especially those Ardbegs that were produced before the closure are very popular with collectors.
Ardbeg holds (as of 2022) the record for the highest selling price of a single cask, which (origin 1975) changed hands for 16 million pounds.
The modern Ardbeg character is characterised by classic, strong & earthy smoke flavours accompanied by a pleasant spiciness and citrus freshness.
