Given the success and cult-like fan base that Ardbeg has recently enjoyed, it is almost impossible to imagine that the distillery was closed, on and off, for 15 years until it was purchased by Glenmorangie. Sitting on the southern coastline, the current distillery was founded in 1815, the original having been destroyed by excise men. The Ardbeg spirit still is fitted with a purifier which many believe accounts for its fruity, zesty character.
Lord Robertson is a former Nato Secretary General born on Islay. Several years ago, when he visited the distillery, a cask of Ardbeg was laid down for his charity project Erskine.
In July 2010 it was bottled and made available in the online shop. It sold out in five hours.
