The smokiest Ardbeg ever.

A Committee-only 2022 bottling, introduced as part of the Ardbeg Supernova Series, this eye-wateringly peated dram is a moment in time for the distillery; a fraction of Ardbeg history that shouldn’t be passed up.

An Islay whisky to its very core, this exceptionally pungent and punchy expression is a powerhouse of flavour and drama. Distilled from peated malt barley with a phenol level of 170ppm, the 51% abv release offers otherworldly notes of chocolate, aniseed, smoke, bitter almonds.

A fabulous pack of three top-drawer Ardbeg drams. The set includes Ardbeg Ten Year Old, Ardbeg Five Year Old Wee Beastie, and Ardbeg An Oa. Each of these bottles feature a hidden artwork hiding behind the label. Peel it off to see what spooky spectacle is awaiting.

Ardbeg Day 2025 celebrates Islay’s iconic Fèis Ìle with the release of ‘Smokiverse’. This is a bold new expression that pushes boundaries through experimental distilling. Crafted using a high gravity mash technique, this release ventures into new territory while remaining unmistakably Ardbeg. Limited-edition, the liquid is a tribute to Ardbeg’s adventurous spirit and a must-have for collectors and fans.

Expect smoke on the nose complemented by sweet undertones and layers of herbaceous greenery. A palate of rich interplay between classic Ardbeg peat smoke with a twist of unexpected fruity brightness, and spiced malt. On the finish it’s long and lingering, with waves of smoke, pepper, and earthy sweetness that ebbs and flows.

Released in celebration of Ardbeg Day 2024, the Islay distillery present a spectacle of showstopping flavours – a whisky that exhibits all manner of peculiar notes and flavours. Rare port wine barrels have been used to mature the liquid, bringing a devilishly sweet side to the typically smoky Ardbeg, before being married in classic bourbon casks. Bottled at 46% abv.

The nose is curiously perfumed and aromatic, with top notes of lavender, vetiver and incense coming before deeper touches of leather, almond, peat moss and wood smoke. Huge salty and smoky flavours on the palate, alongside eucalyptus, salted caramel, smoked pecan nuts, fragrant woodsmoke, creosote and tar, before a lingering finish  with a cooling menthol sensation.

Capturing the essence of Traigh Bhan beach, in which soft white sands are pierced by jagged volcanic rocks, this is the fifth batch of this cult Ardbeg bottling. Bottled in humidity and matured in oloroso sherry and bourbon casks, this small batch 19 year-old Ardbeg is arguably the most tropical dram to leave the distillery. Presented at 46.2% abv.

Notes of fresh green peppers, smoked mango and guava mingle with maple bacon on the perfumed nose. A deep smokiness gives waves of aniseed, burnt heather and spiced chive. A satisfyingly long, sizzling finish brings with it notes of warm toffee fudge, more tropical notes and smoked butter.

This special vatting, Ardbeg Uigeadail (pronounced ‘Oog-a-dal,’) marries Ardbeg’s traditional deep, smoky notes with luscious, raisin tones of old ex-Sherry casks. It is non chill-filtered at high strength, which retains maximum flavour and gives more body and added depth. Ardbeg Uigeadail was recently voted by the 100,000 strong Ardbeg Committee as their favourite Ardbeg. Bottled at 54.2% abv.

Expect aromas of Christmas cake, walnut oil, pine needles and smoky coal fire, all on a layer of treacle toffee sweetness. The palate is full-flavoured and rich, with flavours of winter spices, honey-glazed smoked food, chewy toffee and a distinctly Ardbeg smoky depth. On the close, we have lingering raisin, mocha and aromatic smoke.

The millenium was a key date in the history of Ardbeg, as the distillery completed three years of renovation and began producing the smoky-sweet spirit we now know and love. At the same time, Dr. Bill and the whisky creation team laid down the casks which are being released as the Ardbeg Vintage Y2K series. Combining old and new, it merges modern, innovative whisky techniques whilst using the old Ardbeg stills.

The first bottling is this unique 23-year-old whisky, which has been matured in Oloroso and bourbon casks. Distilled in the year 2000, Vintage Y2K perfectly encapsulates the optimism and excitement surrounding Ardbeg in that momentous year. Bottled at 46% abv.

The nose is herbal, sweet and fragrant, with a subtle, distant perfumed smokiness and touches of lemon balsam, linseed oil and candied walnuts. At first the flavour is intensely sweet, then shifts as aniseed, toffee, digestive biscuits, peppermint, menthol, tar and coffee grits burst through. The sooty flavours build before dissolving into a long, lingering aftertaste of antiseptic lozenges, bitter oranges and oak tannins.

The second release in a limited series of luxury bottlings exploring ages, maturation casks, abv and volume, this 24 Year Old Ardbeg Vintage Y2K was laid down way back in the year 2000, in the frenzied celebrations of the new millennium. Talk about a serendipitous dram for a special occasion!

The liquid was matured in bourbon casks, with a portion finished in amontillado sherry casks to be finished – a first for Ardbeg!

Bottled at a custom abv of 47.8% you can expect a nose of deep, pungent spice mixed with beautiful notes of creamy toffee, flowering blackcurrants, creosote, coal tar soap, antique leather and almond nuts, with a splash of water, hints of charcoal, graphite and damp moss emerge, along with a distinct sooty note. The palate is reminiscent of those millennium celebratory fireworks, with a burst of deep intense, smoky flavours – coal tar mingles with woodsmoke, while antiseptic lozenges meet bonfire embers. The Amontillado sherry casks are present, albeit in the background, with subtle notes of toffee, leather, cinnamon and clove. The close brings long, lingering notes of menthol, eucalyptus, linseed oil and charcoal.
