Established in 1815, Ardbeg is revered by connoisseurs around the world as among the peatiest and smokiest, yet most complex, of all the Islay malts. Despite its smokiness, it is renowned for its delicious sweetness, a phenomenon that has affectionately become known as 'the peaty paradox'. Ardbeg's home is the small, remote Scottish Isle of Islay (pronounced eye-lah). Known as the 'Queen of the Hebrides', Islay has an abundance of soft water, fertile soil and acres of precious peat - making it a prolific producer of distinctive, world-famous single malts. The Ardbeg Distillery perches by a rocky cove on the island's wild and untamed southern coast. This is a land steeped in history. Celtic monks, raiding Norsemen, the Lords of the Isles, 19th century smugglers...they've all played their part in Ardbeg's story. Islay's dramatic past lives in the Ardbeg brand to this day. Ardbeg's knotwork and famous 'A' derive from our Celtic heritage, as seen in the 8th century Kildalton Cross which stands a few miles north of the Distillery. Ardbeg doesn't behave like other whiskies - predictable or safe. Never has. Never will. Unorthodox and authentic to the core, it's rooted in our island home and its people. Yet never stuck in the past. Ardbeg has been called "as close to perfection as makes no difference."* Proof then that it deserves its reputation as The Ultimate Islay Single Malt Whisky. *Jim Murray - The Complete Book of Whisky

Tasting Notes
Suddenly, a rich, explosive mouthfeel bursts forth with chocolate, creosote and tar. A powerful blast of eucalyptus thrashes about with antiseptic lozenges and aniseed. The raw, smoky intensity gathers pace, before smoked bacon and savoury meats sink into the palate.
