The Return of a Legend

Ardbeg The Ultimate Islay 17 Year Old is a single malt scotch that first made waves in 1997. After a long hiatus, it’s back, thanks to Dr. Bill Lumsden’s dedication to recreating its original magic. Bottled at 40% ABV, this chill-filtered beauty is a symphony of sweet smoke, malted barley, and a peaty punch. With notes of aniseed toffee, caf latte, and a whisper of tar, it’s a dangerously drinkable delight that pays homage to its legendary past.

Ardbeg, hailing from the wild shores of Islay, is a distillery with a storied past and a penchant for peaty perfection. Founded in 1815, it has weathered storms both literal and metaphorical. Under the watchful eye of Master Distiller Dr. Bill Lumsden, Ardbeg crafts whiskies that are bold, complex, and unapologetically smoky. Their commitment to quality and innovation is matched only by their love for the Islay community and its rich whisky heritage.
