Silver Medal (Scotch Whisky) - Drinks International 'International Spirits Challenge' 2014!
Ardbeg is a single malt Scotch Whisky. Ardbeg is one of several working distilleries on the southern coast of the island of Islay. Others are Laphroaig and Lagavulin. Ardbeg claims to be the peatiest Islay whisky, and has its maltings in Port Ellen. Distillery manager was Mr. Stuart Thomson from 1997 to 2006. A new manager has not been appointed yet. Ardbeg is known from its extremely tarry, peaty and smokey taste.
The Ardbeg distillery was established in 1815, but was 'mothballed' in 1981 when production stopped. It was bought and reopened in 1997 by Glenmorangie Plc, and is now one of the fastest growing Islay malts. Glenmorangie Plc. is jointly owned by the French company, LVMH, and the British company, Diageo.
