About ArdbegScotland
Ardbeg is a single malt Scotch whisky distillery on the south coast of the isle of Islay, in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. It began commercial production in 1815, closed twice in the late twentieth century, and was bought and reopened by The Glenmorangie Company in 1997. Glenmorangie was acquired by LVMH in 2004, and Ardbeg is owned by Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy. Its whiskies are mostly heavily peated malts. In 2000 the worldwide Ardbeg Committee was formed to ensure that the doors of the distillery never close again, and it now has more than 200,000 members in more than 140 countries, who get access to limited Committee releases.
