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.

After trying both the 10 years and the Uigedail this came as a surprise. Not an assault on yur senses but a very smooth aged whiskey. Perfect for after dinner around the fireplace with a nice cigar...
