    Ardbeg 21 Years Old

    Committee Only Edition 2016
    Lot #0730004
    FINISH DATE
    31 December 2019

    Sold out within minutes online during its September 2016 release, this is a long-awaited 21-year-old from Ardbeg. From the makers themselves: "Ardbeg Twenty One. A rare glimpse into Ardbeg's precarious past. A shining example of its unwavering quality. This momentous bottling contains whisky distilled during some of the most precarious days of Ardbeg's past when only a handful of casks were set aside. Sumptuous and soothing, melding pepper, rye and Ardbeg's famous peaty smoke, this is a golden dram born from adversity, determination, and dedication". Full details on this release are thin on the ground, but it's rumoured to have been limited to around 4,000 bottles for Committee members only.

    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.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    You’ll need an account with us to place bids in any auction. Registration takes 60 seconds and there’s a small £5.00 registration fee, payable by credit or debit card. Once paid, you will be registered and can place bids in the auction immediately. The registration fee helps us ensure you’re a real person and a genuine bidder.
    In the interest of fairness, any bids placed in the final five minutes of a particular lot will extend the end time of that Lot by 15 minutes. We believe in giving our customers a fair amount of time to increase their bid should they wish. Last second sniping isn’t in the spirit of our auctions and by using this system there is no benefit to doing so.
