Located on the south coast of Islay, the Ardbeg distillery dates back to 1815. Despite facing closure in the 1980s, it was acquired by Glenmorangie in 1997 and has since become a legend. Ardbeg is unique for its high peat content (50-55 ppm) balanced by floral sweetness, thanks to the unique 'purifier' on its still.

Ardbeg Ten is bottled at 46% ABV and is non-chill filtered to preserve its natural oils and flavors. This commitment to quality earned it 'World Whisky of the Year' in the 2008 Whisky Bible. For fans, Ardbeg represents a wild, natural Scottish spirit.
