Since its establishment in 1815, The Ardbeg distillery has been on a tumultuous rollercoaster ride of ownership changes, closures, and reopening. Stability was only achieved relatively recently, when the ailing distillery was purchased in 1997 by industry giants, Glenmorangie. The subsequent years have seen the distillery’s popularity swell, with fans enticed by the signature style of tarry, sooty smoke, balanced against citric sweetness and an oily mouthfeel. While Ardbeg still retains its distinctive personality, it has definitely been influenced by Glenmorangie’s propensity for experimenting with cask finishing, and (dare we say it) NAS expressions.
The 17 Year Old:
One of the very first releases under the new regime in 1997, the 17-Year-Old became the distillery’s standard expression due to a lack of younger stock being available. Thanks to its many accolades, and the large part it played in Ardbeg’s road to recovery, the 17-Year-Old has become a must have for collectors and aficionados.
