    Ardbeg Airigh Nam Beist 1990

    2008 Limited Release
    Lot #1520083
    FINISH DATE
    20 July 2026

    (arry nam bayst) The phonetic pronunciation of Airgh Nam Beist which is in the Gaelic language literally means 'shelter, or pasture of the animals'. It is also the name given to the small hill loch that forms the fulcrum between Loch Uigeadail and Charlie's Dam at Ardbeg Distillery. Entirely drawn from very rare whisky stocks that were distilled and laid down in 1990 and aged in oak casks, Airigh Nam Beist is a wonderfully creamy, smoky malt, suffused in woodsmoke with notes of fennel and pine nuts, topped with tingling limes. This rare malt is a 'wee beastie' of a dram ... waiting to be released. Bottled in the year 2008.

    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.
