You have to get up early to buy an Ardbeg - this is 'that' bottle which sold out within hours to committee members earlier this year. 3,000 bottles.

Deep earthy peat oils, smoky coal tar and rolling tobacco, all balanced with camomile, cedar and heather bloom.

Ardbeg

Ardbeg Distillery was established in Ardbeg on the Kildalton Peninsular on the Isle of Islay in 1815 by John McDougal. Ardbeg Distillery draws soft peaty water from Loch Uigeadail and Loch Airigh nam Beist up amongst the hills behind the distillery. Ardbeg Distillery is a participant in the world famous Feis Ile, the annual Islay Festival of Malt and Music. Visitors are welcome at the distillery visitor center which offers Ardbeg Distillery tours and serves delicious Scottish fare in the Ardbeg Café.
