Since its establishment in 1815, The Ardbeg distillery has been on a tumultuous rollercoaster ride of ownership changes, closures, and reopening. Stability was only achieved relatively recently, when the ailing distillery was purchased in 1997 by industry giants, Glenmorangie. The subsequent years have seen the distillery’s popularity swell, with fans enticed by the signature style of tarry, sooty smoke, balanced against citric sweetness and an oily mouthfeel. While Ardbeg still retains its distinctive personality, it has definitely been influenced by Glenmorangie’s propensity for experimenting with cask finishing, and (dare we say it) NAS expressions.
Perpetuum Feis Ile 2015:
To celebrate the distillery's bicentenary, Dr Bill Lumsden took inspiration from the differing styles of whisky created by his predecessors over the last 200 years. The resulting whisky, named Perpetuum, is a vatting of some very old whisky, some very young whisky, and some in-between whisky, matured in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks. While we'll probably never know the exact ratios used, we can mostly all agree that it's a tasty nip!
