Read Brand Story
Located on the south coast of Islay, Ardbeg Distillery has been world-renowned since 1815 for its intense peat and complex balance of sweetness. However, its history was not without struggle, facing closures and production halts in the 1980s and early 1990s, making stocks from that era extremely limited.
The Ardbeg Twenty One was selected from those rare treasures. Ardbeg fans know its uniqueness: it boasts the highest phenol content on Islay, yet its purifier ensures a delicate floral and fruit profile. This 'paradoxical balance' is fully realized in this 21-year-old expression, offering elegance and depth far beyond its years.
