The Ardbeg distillery, located on Ardbeg at the south coast of the isle of Islay, has been producing whisky since 1798, drawing its water from Loch Uigeadail. Like many other Scottish distilleries, Ardbeg whiskies were originally used in blends rather than for single malts. But its unique, full flavoured whiskies soon gained worldwide fandom, and older bottles with age statements now command a premium at auctions. Ardbeg produces a heavily peated style of whisky using malted barley sourced from Port Ellen.
Launched during Feis Ile 2023, this Ardbeg single cask 2787 using distillates from 2006 and aged 16 years in a second-fill oloroso sherry butt was personally selected by Dr. Bill Lumsden. Only 623 bottles produced and bottled at cask strength.
