    Ardbeg Day 2018 Limited Edition
    Lot #0740011
    FINISH DATE
    31 January 2020

    A special release of Ardbeg Grooves still has the same groovy tones as the committee the only edition which was released in March 2018, however, this Limited edition was bottled at 46% ABV as opposed to 51.6% ABV on the committee. Both were created in honour of Ardbeg Day 2018 (June 2) held during the Islay Festival of Music & Malt (Fèis Ìle) Made using casks that have been heavily charred to produce deep grooves in the surface of the wood, this is a whisky aromatic with smoked spices, distant bonfires, vanilla popcorn and smoked pear.

    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.
