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.
Ardbeg Smoketrails is a travellers exclusive only available from Duty Free locations and the distillery Visitor Centre.
The second in the series is this Cote Rotie edition which marries whisky aged in the finest Cote de Rotie wine casks from the south of France and classic Ardbeg ex bourbon casks.
46% ABV / 1L
