Read More Brand Story
Located on the south coast of Islay, Ardbeg has been famous since 1815 for its intense peat and complex balance of sweetness. However, its history has not been without struggle; the distillery faced multiple closures in the 80s and early 90s, making stocks from that era extremely limited.
Ardbeg Twenty One was crafted using extremely rare stocks from that volatile period. Enthusiasts know Ardbeg for having the highest peat levels in Islay, yet its unique purifier imparts delicate floral and fruity sweetness. This 'paradoxical balance' is fully expressed in this 21-year maturation, offering elegance and depth beyond its years.
