ARDBEG
|
Close to the
ancient Kildalton Cross, the white-washed, wave-washed buildings of Ardbeg
lie on the dramatic, rugged southerly shores of Islay. Their brightness
belies their chequered past, when the doors seemed closed for good. Now,
fresh Ardbeg is once again flowing freely, still using the Distillery's own
private water supply which runs down over the peat and rocks from Loch
Uigeadail.

Ardbeg's Ten Years Old
Ardbeg Ten Years Old is a very special bottling for the Ardbeg distillery as
it is the first non-chill filtered whisky in the Ardbeg range. Chill
filtering isn't a bad thing, in fact it created real consistency of product
when the whisky industry was a little more 'hap-hazard' than it is today.
Ardbeg Ten Years Old is whisky with none of the goodness taken out and as
good as straight from the cask.

Ardbeg's 1977 Vintage
1977 is our second Vintage. Non chill-filtered for greater flavour, it is an
absolute delight, embodying the perfect balance of sweetness, fruit and deep
smoky aromas. And with so many very special characteristics, we rank it
close to Provenance. Due to the limited stocks of Ardbeg, it is likely to be
the last Vintage we declare for at least ten years.

Ardbeg's 17 Years Old
This single Islay malt is revered by connoisseurs as a truly extraordinary
whisky. Ardbeg Single Malt stands alone as the most delicate and complex of
all the Islay malts. It does not flaunt the peat; rather it gives way to the
malt, the natural sweetness of which subtly permeates and produces the
perfect balance.

Lord of the Isles
Ardbeg Lord of the Isles is the supreme expression of Ardbeg. At 25 years
old this whisky embodies the richness, depth and sweetness of all Ardbegs.
Bottled at 46% and non chill filtered for the 'natural' flavours and aromas
of Ardbeg to develop. Light gold in colour and powerful in character, this
supreme expression of Ardbeg celebrates a period in Scottish history which
saw Islay as the stronghold of Somerled, the Lord of the Isles. Beautifully
packaged and presented in a burnished gold case, this whisky is exceptional
in every way.
