Taste: A slightly drying mouthfeel, followed by deep, pungent flavours that hurtle across the palate: tar, soot, dark chocolate and a very distinctive nuttiness, like Brazil nuts or hazelnut. If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, the remainder of the Terms shall continue in full force and effect.

The Ardbeg Distillery has been in Islay since 1815 and tells of almost two centuries of turbulent whiskey history. Ardbeg was founded by John McDougall and bought 20 years later by Glasgow merchant Thomas Buchanan. Under new ownership it was very prosperous and by 1877 employed nearly a third of the islanders. Despite its ups and downs over time, the distillery lives on to this day and the stories of whiskey from days gone by resonate in every sip, even with Ardbeg Smoketrails! Details: Distillery/Brand

One of the defining characteristics of Ardbeg whisky is its distinctive peaty flavor profile. The distillery is famous for using malted barley that is dried with peat smoke, imparting a robust smokiness and earthy character to the whisky. The intensity of the peat in Ardbeg's expressions can be quite powerful, making their whisky a favorite among those who enjoy a bold and complex dram.Nothing in the Terms shall exclude or limit our liability for fraudulent misrepresentation or for death or personal injury resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct by us.
