In 1815 The Ardbeg Distillery came into existence producing one of the World’s Finest Malts “if not the finest” in Gaelic Ardbeg means An Aird Bheag translated is The Small Promontory “a point of high land that juts out into the sea” In the past 10 years 6 different prestigious Ardbeg’s expressions have won World’s Best Single Malt, World Whisky of the Year and scotch Whisky of the Year No wonder connoisseurs have said that Ardbeg is as close to perfection as makes no difference.

Ardbeg Blaaack is the feisty Limited Edition bottled in celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the Ardbeg Committee, founded in the year 2000. To mark such a momentous occasion, the Distillery vowed that the casks used to honour their global flock would be right on the nose. For the first time in Ardbeg’s history, they have rounded up Pinot Noir casks from the country that lies the furthest distance from Islay – New Zealand, that other remote island nation where sheep have been known to outnumber the locals by 7:1.

It is the 2020 release, smoky and sweet with a long, lingering finish.
