Ardbeg 'The Ultimate' 17 Year Single Malt Scotch

First released in 1997, the 17 Years Old was among the initial bottlings after the Distillery's reopening. Its delicate yet distinctive Ardbeg character quickly captured the Committee's affection, establishing a high standard for future whiskies. Retired in 2004, many thought it was gone for good. Now, after years of anticipation, Master Distiller Dr. Bill Lumsden has meticulously recreated this iconic recipe to reflect the original. With a balmy, medicinal quality and a burst of minerality, sweet smoke, and malted barley, its undeniable peatiness carries hints of tar and oak. This release honors those who supported its legacy from the beginning.
