Ardbeg

Ardbeg Distillery was established in Ardbeg on the Kildalton Peninsular on the Isle of Islay in 1815 by John McDougal. Ardbeg Distillery draws soft peaty water from Loch Uigeadail and Loch Airigh nam Beist up amongst the hills behind the distillery. Ardbeg Distillery is a participant in the world famous Feis Ile, the annual Islay Festival of Malt and Music. Visitors are welcome at the distillery visitor center which offers Ardbeg Distillery tours and serves delicious Scottish fare in the Ardbeg Café. 

An elegant, dark gold whisky with a powerfully robust nose. Initially sweet, with vanilla, soft fruits and a peat smoke aroma coming through late. Smooth and mellow on the palate with sweet, fruity notes at the beginning, but a nutty, peaty character eventually taking over. The finish is long, lingering and slightly dry with peat smoke and oak.
