ARDBEG WEE BEASTIE
Ardbeg Wee Beastie has been matured for just 5 years, making it the untamed ‘enfant terrible’ of the whisky world. Whereas most single malts seek the smoothness and balance of older age, we know that more time in cask tends to subdue the smokiness that so many whisky fans love.
By boldly proclaiming the whisky’s relative youthfulness, we invite consumer curiosity and promise a monstrously smoky experience.

ARDBEG TEN YEARS OLD
Ardbeg Ten Years Old is revered around the world as the peatiest,* smokiest, most complex single malt of them all. Yet it does not flaunt the peat; rather it gives way to the natural sweetness of the malt to produce a whisky of perfect balance. Named World Whisky of the Year in 2008.
*Ardbeg boasts a peat level of 50-60ppm, the highest level in the business (with the exception of a few limited releases which exceed 100ppm).

ARDBEG UIGEADAIL
In 2009, Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible named Ardbeg Uigeadail “World Whisky of the Year” – in praise of its “utter silky brilliance” and “complexity on a level only a handful of distilleries in the world can even dream of reaching”.
Pronounced “Oog-a-dal”, it’s a special vatting that marries Ardbeg’s traditional deep, smoky notes with luscious, raisiny tones of old ex-Sherry casks.

Ardbeg Corryvreckan takes its name from the famous whirlpool that lies to the north of Islay, where only the bravest souls dare to venture.
