    A fine drop of Ardbeg bottled at cask strength. A marriage of Ardbeg from bourbon barrel and sherry butt which gives a sweet and smokey finish to this malt. Uigeadail is the loch from which all Ardbeg water flows.

    The curious name is pronounced “Arry nam Baysht” and is the second loch down from Uigeadail. It therefore performs a balancing role in supplying the water from Loch Uigeadail required by the distillery. In the ancient Gaelic language it means “place, or shelter of the beast or animals” …and a very ghostly place it is too! Alongside 10 Years Old and Uigeadail it will complete the “Troika”* of regular expressions available from Ardbeg.

    Ardbeg Ten Years Old is a very special bottling for the Ardbeg distillery as it is the first non-chill filtered whisky in the Ardbeg range. Chill filtering isn`t a bad thing, in fact it created real consistency of product when the whisky industry was a little more `hap-hazard` than it is today. Ardbeg Ten Years Old is whisky with none of the goodness taken out and as good as straight from the cask.

    Serendipity – pity to waste it! Noun – the occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way A recent such mix-up occurred at Ardbeg. The result was the creation of a supreme blended malt whisky made up of two parts 1992 Glen Moray to eight parts of a very much older Ardbeg. Bottled at 40% and chill-filtered, Serendipity is at once characteristically peaty and refreshingly light – a rare opportunity to experience a lighter taste of Islay. And the effect is quite outstanding. So outstanding, in fact, you’d be forgiven for thinking it was deliberate.

    We couldn’t possibly have conceived at the time just how enthusiastically folk would embrace the idea of Very Young Ardbeg. Indeed, many enthusiasts are keen to continue to sample our work in progress. So now its spirited sibling, Still Young, is ready to take its first steps along the peaty path to full maturity. Still youthful and zesty but definitely more creamy and rounded from extra ageing, this character is a wonderful addition to the family.
