This bottling of an Ardbeg single malt as an original distillery bottling called Ardcore was released on Ardbeg Day 2022 and pays tribute to Islay's punk past. The whisky was made with deep black roasted barley malt.
In the beginning, Ardbeg (meaning: small hill) was a small moonshine distillery that had been in operation since 1794. The distillery site is located on the south coast of the island of Islay, very close to Port Ellen. It produces a heavy malt type that has a smoky, peaty, salty and distinctly medicinal impact, reminiscent of the smell of seaweed.
Islay is the most famous of the Scotch whisky islands. It is often referred to as the queen among them. The majority of Islay's single malts have a wonderfully peaty, smoky, strong flavour - flavours for which Islay whisky is so loved.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
