Ten Years Old: This expression is revered worldwide for being the most intensely peaty, smoky, and intricately flavored Single Malt. It offers a perfect balance of fruity and floral sweetness alongside complexity. Aged in ex-Bourbon American Oak casks, it exhibits a harmonious blend of sweet vanilla and robust spice. Ardbeg's flagship whisky, it embodies the finest qualities of Islay.
Wee Beastie: Ardbeg's newest permanent expression, and also their youngest, Wee Beastie undergoes maturation in a combination of Ex-Bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks for a mere five years. The youthfulness of this whisky intensifies its smoky character, setting it apart from other Islay Malts. It delivers a rich and explosive mouthfeel with prominent notes of chocolate, tar, creosote, and smoked bacon, followed by a burst of antiseptic lozenges, eucalyptus, and aniseed.
An Oa: Drawing inspiration from the protective cliffs of the Mull of Oa, which shield the Ardbeg distillery from the untamed Atlantic Ocean, An Oa embraces a harmonious interplay of contrasting flavors. This expression combines the finest casks, achieving a balance between roundness and Ardbeg's signature intensity. The whiskies used in its creation are matured in Pedro Ximénez casks for sweetness, Virgin Charred Oak casks for spiciness, and ex-Bourbon American Oak casks for intensity. These distinct elements are skillfully brought together in the bespoke Gathering Vat, resulting in a complex and captivating whisky experience.
