About this bottle
Introducing a new series of Single Cask bottlings from The Uncharted Whisky Company. Rumours – Chapter 1. An enigmatic cask from an un-named Islay single malt whisky distillery. Aged for 15 years in an exceptional ex-bourbon barrel and bottled at natural cask strength of 56.1%. This rarity harks from a stunningly good distillery and single casks are as sparse as they are extraordinary. This ex-bourbon barrel comes to us from the salty shores of a peaty isle and has yielded 295 alluring bottles. Fifteen years this smoldering spirit has matured to create something very special.

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.
