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.
1977:
This small batch release was available between 2001 and 2004. Ardbeg's press release prior to the 1977 hitting the shelves declared that it would likely be that last vintage expression for at least 10 years due to dwindling stock, but that they felt it was close to the legendary 1974 Provenance in quality.
Distilled: 1977
