    Created during a unique experiment with rare 'black sherry' casks, this single malt brings astonishing richness and spice to Ardbeg's classic style. Its spirit was distilled on 14th December 2006, then laid down in carefully chosen bourbon casks. Eight years later, Dr. Bill Lumsden had secured a handful of precious 'black sherry' casks, seasoned with a wine even more deep and intense than Pedro Ximenez. And intrigued to see how they might shape Ardbeg's sweet, smoky taste, he filled them with the whisky, imagining an extraordinary finish. Most of those casks would go on to play their part in Ardbeg Dark Cove, an earthy, spicy whisky released for Ardbeg Day 2016. That limited edition recalled Islay's shadowy past as a smuggler's haunt. But marvelling at Cask No.9099's exceptional intensity, Dr. Bill Lumsden stowed it away for even longer. Now, aged for a total of 15 years, his creation is ready to share. Rich and peppery, with notes of leather, creosote, and spice, it is a darkly delicious Ardbeg.

    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.
