Ardbeg whiskies are characterized by their intense peat smoke aroma, which is derived from the malted barley used in the production process being dried over peat fires. This imparts a robust smokiness to the spirit, along with hints of seaweed, brine, and medicinal notes, creating a complex and deeply satisfying drinking experience.
The distillery is known for its commitment to traditional production methods, including the use of traditional copper pot stills and wooden washbacks, which contribute to the unique character of their whiskies. Ardbeg's core range includes expressions such as the flagship 10-year-old, known for its bold peatiness and rich, maritime flavors, as well as limited edition releases that showcase the distillery's experimental approach to whisky making.
