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.
So what can we say about this legendary 30 year old? Whilst there was much happening to the distillery, the cask was lying there in the quiet darkness of the Ardbeg warehouse, just waiting for its chance to shine. The resulting whisky is one of those phenomenal drams that makes Islay fans all go a bit misty eyed!
