Ardbeg
On the picturesque Isle of Islay, where the sea meets the land in an embrace perpetually lashed by the winds, stands the legendary Ardbeg distillery. Known throughout the world for the production of peaty whiskies of rare intensity, Ardbeg is a true icon for Scotch Whisky enthusiasts, a brand that embodies the essence of a unique territory and its centuries-old traditions.
Founded on this mystical island, Ardbeg stands out for its deep connection with the surrounding nature. The distillery overlooks a wild coast, where the smell of the sea blends with that of peat, an essential element that gives its whiskies their characteristic smoky and marine flavor. It is here that the malted barley, kissed by the saltiness and the ocean breeze, is expertly worked to create spirits with a strong and unmistakable character.
Ardbeg's mastery is evident in iconic labels such as Uigeadail and Ten. Uigeadail, named after the lake that provides the pure water used in distillation, presents itself with a bouquet of smoke and spices, wrapped in a soft embrace of dried fruit and chocolate. Ten, on the other hand, is a hymn to the purity of peat, a whisky that embodies the quintessence of Islay with its intense aromas and complex structure.
Ardbeg represents a sensory journey, an invitation to explore depths of flavours that tell stories of tradition and innovation, of sea and land. Let yourself be transported by the charm of Islay and discover the best Ardbeg labels on Vino45: an unforgettable experience for every lover of peated whisky.

THE DISTILLERY
Officially active since the mid-first decade of the nineteenth century, since 1815 to be precise, the Ardbeg distillery, located in the heart of the island of Islay, was founded by John McDougall, and has gone through a history of a thousand vicissitudes over the years, similar to that of many other distilleries, dictated by changes in ownership, sudden and lasting closures, and above all characterized by numerous adversities. As early as 1835, in fact, there was the first change of ownership, for which the distillery was bought by the Glasgow merchant Thomas Buchanan, even if John McDougal himself and his son continued to manage the company, which in the late 1970s in 1800, in 1877 to be exact, he was traveling in waters that were so prosperous as to give work to almost a third of the inhabitants of the island of Islay. In 1981, however, the trend was the opposite, and thanks to the widespread economic crisis, the company is unable to keep its doors open, and is forced to cease all types of activities. Repurchased in 1987 by Hiram Walker, it was only two years later, in 1989, that the distillery returned to production, albeit on a very small scale, and then went through another period of closure, between 1991 and 1997. Today the distillery is owned by the LVMH Group, which has the merit of having given back a lot of hope and confidence to the lovers of this product. The labels on the market, currently, are all characterized by the same desire for tradition that prompted the distillery to bottle without any cold filtration. Historic stills are still used for distillation, and the choice of water is meticulously taken care of. Currently considered as one of the most modern and technologically advanced distilleries, today Ardbeg can be easily defined as a cult brand, made for those who want to rediscover the classic peaty taste decided in an Islay single malt whiskey.
