    The 2026 Ardbeg Committee Exclusive marks the long-awaited release of the iconic 10 Year Old in natural cask strength. For decades, Ardbeg 10 Years Old has stood as the cornerstone of the distillery’s core range, celebrated for its unmistakable smoky intensity and coastal character. Now, this limited-edition expression elevates that classic profile, bottled at a commanding 61.7% ABV for a bold and uncompromising experience. This release is particularly significant, as it represents the first widely available official cask strength edition of the 10 Year Old since the exceedingly rare 2003 Japanese-market bottling — a short-lived release that quickly became legendary among enthusiasts after its discontinuation.

    Ardbeg

    One of Scotland’s most iconic and recognisable brands, the Ardbeg of today is thanks to a take over by Glenmorangie in 1997. Prior to this it had fallen into a state of disrepair and suffered bouts of closures since the 1980s when the market lost the taste for Islay peat. The distillery was founded in 1815 by the McDougall family and remained in private hands until the Distillers Company Limited and Hiram Walker bought into the distillery in 1959. In 2004, the parent company was acquired by Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy who has enjoyed considerable success since. In 2021, to cope with growing demand, a new stillhouse was completed on the Ardbeg shoreline that is home to 2 new pairs of replica stills that will ensure more of its charismatic whisky is available for all of us to enjoy.
