Ardbeg Distillery

Ardbeg's white-washed walls can be found nestling in a rocky cove on Islay's southern tip.

Back in 1981, the distillery fell silent and was mothballed, with only very small scale distilling resuming in 1989. Between 1990 and 1996, it opened and closed with monotonous regularity, before finally closing, seemingly for good, in 1996.

Fortunately in 1997, to the delight of fans all over the world Glenmorangie plc rescued Ardbeg and a team of dedicated souls set about repairing and reviving the distillery.

Now, once again Ardbeg flows freely.
