The Fabulous Ardbeg Distillery!

The legendary Islay distillery has been dormant for a long time, but was relaunched in 1997. Located along the south-east coast of the island of Islay, the Ardbeg distillery (a Gaelic word meaning "small promontory") was officially created in 1815, when whisky was equalised in Scotland. Once known for decades as a haven for smugglers, the famous underground distillers who originally made the finest malts. Ardbeg's clandestine still was built in 1794.

Tasting Ardbeg 25 Year Old Islay Single Malt Whisky

On the nose, an explosion of majestic and exceptional aromas of smoked cream and campfires that accompany notes of pine and wax like a subtly scented candle. On the palate, a spicy edge mingles delicately with the sweetness of a good lemon sorbet. Its finish, with notes of wood-fire toast combined with the flavour of creamy caramel with a hint of aniseed, lingers on the palate.

This is a rather prestigious whisky, thanks to the medals it has won.

Winner of the Best Islay Single Malt 21 Years Old and Over category, World Whiskies Awards 2023, and bronze medal in the Best Islay Single Malt 21 Years Old and Over category as well as being nominated for the World Whiskies Awards 2022.
