Unofficially, the Ardbeg distillery has been distilling since 1794 - in 1815, the distillery was bought by John McDougall and officially opened under the name Ardbeg.

"Ardbeg" comes from the Gaelic and translates as "little hill".

The distillery is located on the south coast of the Islay whisky region.

Over 25 years ago, in 1997, the Ardbeg 17 Years Old The Ultimate Committee Exclusive was one of the first bottles to leave the distillery after its reopening. This unusually delicate but distinctively Ardbeg whisky quickly won the hearts of the Ardbeg Committee and set an exceptional standard for the future.

When the whisky was retired in 2004, many thought they would never see it again. But quietly, its return was carefully prepared. Dr Bill Lumsden, the Master Distiller, has meticulously based the new bottling on the original, tracing the flavour profile note for note and bottling it, as it was then, at 40 per cent by volume to continue the tradition.
