1 in stock
Ardbeg 17 is known for being a gentler, more elegant expression of Ardbeg, balancing classic Islay notes of sea spray, pine, and antiseptic with surprising sophistication, featuring aniseed toffee, creamy vanilla, and cocoa, all intertwined with a subtle, lingering peat smoke and hints of chewy oak, tar, and citrus, making it complex yet restrained compared to younger Ardbegs. A more refined, less aggressive Ardbeg, showcasing maturity and balance and features both classic Islay brine and smoke alongside delicate sweetness and spice.

Ardbeg
The distillery can be found in a small cove on the south coast of Islay. It was in 1815 that the distillery was established and founded by John McDougal. Despite going on to sell in 1838, Ardbeg continued to be ran by John’s children. In 1853 Ardbeg boasted the first female distiller’s in Scotland after the death of Alexander, their elder brother. The family also went on to buy back the distillery in 1922 remaining at the helm until 1977. Following financial difficulties the distillery had a hiatus from 1981 to 1989, when distillation resumed it was on a much smaller scale. The distillery was sold again in 1997 to Glenmorangie Co. and restored to its former grandeur and as we know it today. Ardbeg has gone on to win many awards and enjoys releasing bottles to celebrate contemporary events. In 2021 a new stillhouse is completed doubling capacity. They are open year round in their visitor centre, bar and tours (Ardbeg)
