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.
Seann Chreag:
Translated as ‘Old or Ancient Rock’ this special bottling is said be the older sibling of their Uigeadail release. Matured in both sherry and bourbon casks, these combined are said to perfectly balance the tar smoke of the new make. This was originally produced for the Japanese market.
