Ardbeg 10 Year Old - Charity Lot
Lot number: 112-00527
Winning bid: £50
Given the success and cult-like fan base that Ardbeg has recently enjoyed, it is almost impossible to imagine that the distillery was closed on and off for 15 years until it was purchased by Glenmorangie. Sitting on the southern coastline of Islay, the current distillery was founded in 1815; the original having been destroyed by excise men. The Ardbeg spirit still is fitted with a purifier which many believe accounts for its fruity, zesty character.
Due to its huge upsurge in popularity, Ardbeg has added Ardbeg An Oa to its core malt range of the original three expressions: the 10-year-old; Uigeadail; and Corryvreckan.
This lot has been donated by the Hip-flask Hiking Club and is being offered to raise money for, whisky photographer, Brett Ferencz aka Scotch Trooper, who has sadly been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. Brett will likely be familiar to whisky fans on Instagram thanks to his cleverly composed photographs featuring Star Wars action figures enjoying a few drams.
100% of the hammer price from this lot will go towards paying for his treatment.
Donations can also be made HERE.
