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.
8 Year Old For Discussion:
This 8 year old was only available to Committee Members, who were encouraged to discuss the dram on social media using #Ardbeg8ForDiscussion. Could we be looking at a future addition to the core range with another sub 10-Year-Old age statement? Our fingers are crossed.
50.8% ABV / 70cl
