	Ardbeg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ardbeg is one of three working distilleries on the southern coast of the island of Islay.
		Ardbeg claims to be the peatiest Islay whisky, and has its maltings in Port Ellen.
		Ardbeg 17yo, 40% ABV, increasingly harder to find since the distillery was closed from 1981 to 1997, and stocks are low.

	Ardbeg - About Whisky - Malt - www.scotchwhisky.com
		Of the three, Ardbeg uses the most heavily peated malt, but paradoxically does not produce a whisky which is as smoky / medicinal as Laphroaig or Lagavulin.
		There was a family of Macdougals at Ardbeg from 1798, one of whom started a legal distillery in 1815, which was producing around 500 gallons a day by 1835.
		Until the early 1980s Ardbeg had its own floor maltings and, as there were no fans in the pagoda-roofed malting houses, the trapped peat smoke thoroughly permeated the malt.

	Islay Whisky, Ardbeg
		Situated on the south coast of Islay, Ardbeg was famous as a hideout for smugglers who had to make themselves scarce after their cache was discovered by the Excise men in the late 18th century.
		However, with the majority of its output used in blending, Ardbeg struggled to remain viable during the economic downturn of the 1970s, resulting in it being run on a care and maintenance basis from 1983.
		Ardbeg maintains the robust and earthy aromas associated with Islay malts.

		Ardbeg is a tiny village on the island of Islay (pronounced 'Eye-la') off the west coast of Scotland.
		Thankfully — and to the delight of Ardbeg aficionados around the world — Glenmorangie plc acquired the Distillery in 1997 and is restoring it to its former glory.
		Ardbeg Distillery is unique in being the only one to have a copper purifier attached to the still which, through a 'reflux' action, adds fruitiness to the complex character of the final spirit.

	Review of Ardbeg Islay whisky by AWA, AWA Ardbeg page, Whisky test/whisky hit list - Ardbeg information, Whisky, ...
		Ardbeg is operated by Allied Distillers but they do not sell its produce officially as a single malt.
		Ardbeg was founded by the Macdougall family in 1815, which makes it the second oldest disyillery on Islay.
		It seemed that Ardbeg was destined to stay in the background of Allied Distillers' operations as a poor relation of its sister Laphroaig, with whom it shared many of its characteristics.

		I believe that part of the deal in the sale of Ardbeg (why Allied could never do anything with it still remains one of the greatest mysteries of the whisky industry) was a delayed payment for the stocks of maturing malt.
		I have a sample of the Ardbeg 1990 in froint of me; we were surprised at just how good it is hence the decision to release this now.
		When Ardbeg reopened in 1989, the malted barley came from the Port Ellen maltings, instead of their own, with the peat coming from the Duich Moss and Loch Gorm areas.

		Unchillfiltered, cask strength (although at a mild 42%abv), it is everything that Ardbeg is famous for, intensely peaty, sweet, complex and a finish that lingers well into the night.
		I responded: I too am enjoying an 8YO Ardbeg from 1991, though it is not specifically identified as not chill-filtered and is bottled at 43%abv.

	Ardbeg Distillery Profile (Malt Madness - about single malt whisky) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Ardbeg 17yo (40%, OB, bottled +/- 1997, code L7 338 4ML 11:40, 70cl) was one of the very first batches released in - or possibly shortly after - the year Glenmorangie took over control of the distillery.
		During most of the 1990's Ardbeg was very hard to find apart from the odd Gordon and MacPhail bottling, but by the time the new owners had the Ardbeg distillery up and running again Ardbeg was becoming much more widely available, in the form of the new OB's but as independent bottlings as well.
		Official bottlings of Ardbeg released in the late 1990's were excellent without exception, but it seems that the quality of the latest releases is slipping.

		Ardbeg has been extensively and expensively restored but, lacking they're old fanless malting facilities, seem to be going for the 'we're more subtle than our neighbours' approach.

	Ardbeg
		Ardbeg Distillery and village was built in 1815 by the MacDougall family of Ardbeg and no doubt also acted as a small port for Ardbeg and Kildalton.
		Ardbeg was until the 1970’s a complete distillery village with a small shop, Post Office and a harbour, but due to the slump in malt whisky the Distillery stopped production and most of the houses were demolished because they were no longer required.
		The Village is connected to the rest of the Island by a bus service which terminates at Ardbeg.

		Revered by connoisseurs as a truly extraordinary whisky, Ardbeg Single Islay Malt stands alone as the most delicate and complex of all the Islay malts.
		Its strength is that it does not flaunt the peat; rather it gives way to the malt, the natural sweetness of which subtly intrudes and produces the perfect balance.
		All Islay malts are special, but only Ardbeg has achieved such effortless harmony which sets it apart from the rest.

		In general it tastes great, but is very raw in taste and thereby not as nuanced as I could have hoped for.

		Ardbeg closed in the early 1980s, but towards the end of that decade began to work again, albeit very sporadically, using malt from Port Ellen.
		Whisky produced at that time was due to be released as a new, probably less peaty, ten-year-old around the turn of the millennium.
