Distillery description

Ardbeg is a Scottish distillery located on the south-west coast of Islay, founded in 1815 by John MacDougall. Known for its intensely peaty and smoky whiskies, Ardbeg has undergone several periods of closure, particularly in the 1980s and 1990s, but was revitalized in 1997 when it was acquired by the Glenmorangie Company, part of LVMH. Its whiskies often feature seaweed, citrus, and spice notes, maturing mainly in American oak (ex-bourbon) and sherry casks, along with experimental wine casks. The Ardbeg Committee, founded in 2000, releases exclusive annual bottlings for its members.

Bottle description

Airigh Nam Beist, Gaelic for "The Shelter of the Beast," refers to the legends surrounding the lake near Ardbeg Distillery. This whisky was distilled in 1990, during a period of limited production at the distillery, and bottled between 2006 and 2008, adding to its rarity.

Nose: Strong peat notes, complemented by citrus, vanilla, and caramel, with sweet accents of honey and a subtle touch of sea salt.

Taste: Rich and complex, with intense smoke, dark chocolate, citrus, and oak, joined by spicy and nutty notes.

Finish: Long and warm, with lingering notes of peat, sea salt, and fine oak.

The Airigh Nam Beist bottling is highly sought after by collectors and whisky enthusiasts alike due to its historical value and unique flavor profile that reflects the Ardbeg style of the era.
