Yet none match the tail of Ardbeg's flavour breathing dragon. Dwelling in the Dunnage Warehouse 3, scorching staves and burning barrels, they say Ardbeg Scorch is the mouthwatering product of its fiery temperament...\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatured in our most heavily charred ex-Bourbon casks, intense aromas of soot and smoke lie in wait, while grilled fare and black liquorice mingle with bold notes of antiseptic lozenge.

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\u003e51.7% ABV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e70cl\u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ardbeg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54686679400773,"sku":"5010494968781","price":235.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/9495\/8661\/files\/3961321193.jpg?v=1746545527","url":"https:\/\/b1yyjg-bk.myshopify.com\/products\/ardbeg-scorch-committee-release-islay-single-malt-scotch-whisky-2021-70cl","provider":"Whisky Situation Old","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
