This particular Ardbeg expression has been matured in Ex- Marsala wine casks from Sicily, balanced with first fill ex bourbon casks and bottled at 49% and is of course a limited edition which immediately sold out upon release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeatured in Ian Buxton's 101 Legendary whiskies you're dying to try but (possibly) never will book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage 1999 bottled in 2012 in Marsala Wine Casks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpace 1999\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArdbeg has always been right up there, having been voted Best Scotch Whisky in the World three times on the bounce.

The distillery is owned by Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy, and produces a heavily peated Islay whisky. The distillery uses malted barley sourced from the maltings in Port Ellen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ardbeg distillery was officially founded in 1815 by John McDougall. But Whisky was distilled there long before that. There are no documentations, as Ardbeg was an illegal business back in 1794. The distillery is now owned by LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy), which also owns Glenmorangie distillery in the Highlands of Scotland. The current capacity is just over one million litres per annum and its water source is Loch Uigeadail, after which one of its famous releases is named.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e49% ABV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e70cl\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ardbeg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54686674977093,"sku":"5010494911817","price":379.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/9495\/8661\/files\/3961281831.jpg?v=1746545492","url":"https:\/\/b1yyjg-bk.myshopify.com\/products\/ardbeg-galileo-limited-edition-islay-single-malt-scotch-whisky-2012-70cl","provider":"Whisky Situation Old","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
