Ardberg - 10 year old (700ml)

Description

Ardbeg is one of my favourite whiskies and distilleries. The current distillery dates back to 1815 but there have been records of legal distilleries on the same site since 1794. Ardbeg was closed in the 1980’s when it belonged to Allied Domecq, who also owned Laphroaig. In 1990 they started to run the distillery for a few months each year to get filling for the blend Ballantines. The distillery was run on a wing and a prayer by the then assistant Manager of Laphroaig Micky Heads. Today Micky is Ardbeg’s Distillery Manager and one of the World’s best distillers. In 1997 the distillery was sold to the Glenmorangie Company for £7.1m, including stock. They had to spend at least the same amount again to update the distillery. The distillery is today really doing well with a lot more attention to detail and much better wood policy

This 10 years old is a big peaty dram. Just like bonfire's on the beach.

A stronger spirit, a big whisky with lots of character and body, excellent after dinner

Sourced from

Islay, Scotland
