Buy Ardbeg Ardbog Single Malt Scotch Whisky Online

Buy Ardbeg Ardbog Single Malt Scotch Whisky Online from KL Wine Merchants. Islay, the southernmost of the Inner Hebridean Scottish Isles, spans just 240 square miles and has over 3,000 residents. Despite its small size, it is one of five legally protected distilling regions in Scotland. Ardbeg Distillery, founded on Islay’s southern coast in 1815 by the MacDougall family, has deep roots in the community. By 1886, nearly one-third of Islay’s population worked at the distillery, which remains a symbol of Scottish heritage.

Each year, Ardbeg celebrates Ardbeg Day by releasing a new whisky. In 2013, they launched Ardbeg Ardbog Single Malt Scotch Whisky, honoring Islay’s peat bogs. This whisky uses malted barley peated to about 50 phenol parts per million. After milling and mashing the barley with water from Loch Uigeadail, the distillery ferments it in Oregon pine washbacks. This unique process creates a lighter, richer whisky. After a 55-hour fermentation, the wash undergoes double distillation, resulting in a fresh, malty flavor. Ardbeg Ardbog matures for at least ten years in a mix of used American oak bourbon and Spanish oak casks, lending it classic notes of peat and smoke balanced with dark fruits and vanilla.

Limited bottles are available, making it a sought-after special edition.
