Ardbeg Kelpie Committee Release (2017) is a limited edition Islay single malt Scotch whisky from Ardbeg Distillery, created to celebrate Ardbeg Day during the Feis Ile 2017. This special Committee Release was unveiled to Ardbeg’s most dedicated fans, inspired by the mythical sea creature of Islay folklore, and matured in a unique combination of Black Sea oak and ex-bourbon barrels.

This innovative maturation introduces a distinctive twist on Ardbeg’s classic peated style, with the Black Sea oak contributing deeper, more savoury and spicy characteristics, layered over the distillery’s signature smoke, citrus, and maritime notes. The result is a bold and characterful dram with both power and complexity.
