Ardbeg Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Ardbeg Distillery located on the south coast of Islay and founded by McDougall family in 1815 has gone through two silent periods since 1981 to1989 and 1996-1997.  Fortunately, they were bought by Glenmorangie PLC in 1997. However, in 2004, both Ardbeg and Glenmorangie were acquired by French fashion label and drinks group - Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy (LVMH). In February 2018, Ardbeg doubled its capacity. While most of its core expressions are non-aged, it does occasionally release aged bottlings.
