I'll not beat about the bush here , Ardbeg is my favourite Single Malt whisky ! The first Ardbeg i tasted was the renowned 1974 ,
20yo Connoisseurs Choice , a peaty , iodiney classic of yester year ! it took a
couple of years before i found some more but since then the skies been the
limit . 100 plus expressions later and i hope i know the malt well ! As superb as the Spirit is , it's not the only thing that makes Ardbeg Special , it's the place and people . Turning down the road into the distillery is something magical , seeing the buildings spreading down to the sea , the Old Kiln , a temple to the greatness of the Malt . The people who work in the place always give you a wonderful welcome , making you feel at home the minute you walk in the door . If you want to contemplate the meaning of life head to the pier with a dram in your hand , it's a beautiful place to sit watching the world flow by enjoying The Ultimate Islay single malt , the swishing of the waves on the shore , wild life going about it's business all around you , the peace and tranquility , a place of pure joy ! |
