The Ardbeg distillery produces the peatiest single malt in Scotland. In the past, the lack of ventilation in the malt drying kilns trapped the peat smoke, explaining the very peaty character of its single malt.

Ardbeg single malts combine charming rusticity with great finesse and a rich expression worthy of the best whiskies. The true frenzy among enthusiasts for each expression of Ardbeg whisky means that its production is almost entirely dedicated to its single malt rather than to blends.
