Ardbeg 23 Years Old

2017 Twenty Something Committee Only Edition
Lot #1290154
FINISH DATE

A rare opportunity to experience an Ardbeg 23 years old, this is Ardbeg Twenty Something bottled in 2017 - an exceptional example of immense character. The Ardbeg Distillery of today stands testament to the dedication and vision of a group of whisky enthusiasts, determined to ensure Ardbeg would endure. For as the 20th century ebbed away, its future hung in the balance. Production had dwindled to almost nothing. The stills were oftentimes empty, the filling store, silent. Yet quietly in the warehouse, Ardbeg's spirit was biding its time. This superb bottling is from a handful of casks laid down during those precarious years when its very future hung in the balance.
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.
