Ardbeg 10 Year Old

Ardbeg

Ardbeg is one of the most iconic peated distilleries on the Isle of Islay, Scotland. Officially registered in 1815, its intensely smoky and herbal character has long captivated whisky enthusiasts. Located on the southern coast of Islay near Laphroaig and Lagavulin, Ardbeg also benefits from abundant peaty water sources. Though the distillery faced multiple closures in its history, it was revived in 1997 after being acquired by the Glenmorangie Company, steadily rebuilding its distinct identity and cultivating a passionate global fanbase. Today, its core expressions—Ardbeg 10 Year Old, Uigeadail, and Corryvreckan—are celebrated for their bold peat, deep complexity, and oily texture, setting the standard for modern peated whiskies.

Beyond the spirit itself, Ardbeg is also known for its playful and creative marketing—such as the annual “Ardbeg Day” and experimental releases linked to space research—which have earned it worldwide attention. The distillery continues to use traditional equipment and handcrafted processes, preserving its signature style. Whether you're new to peated whisky or a seasoned fan of intense flavors, Ardbeg is a must-visit destination.
