Ardbeg Arrrrrrdbeg! – a Pirate Adventure from Islay Ardbeg Arrrrrrdbeg! is a 2021 limited edition released to bid farewell to the distillery’s long-time manager, Mickey Heads. The label alone suggests a bold, “pirate-style” journey of flavor — and the whisky fully delivers. It’s the first Ardbeg ever matured exclusively in rye whiskey casks, giving it a distinctly unique character. On the nose, classic Ardbeg smoke is joined by spicy rye notes, pepper, and subtle sweet fruit tones. The palate brings an intense peat punch balanced with crisp rye, vanilla, and a touch of citrus. The finish is long, smoky, and gently spiced, with a signature hint of coastal salinity. Arrrrrrdbeg! is energetic, playful, and a bit wild — exactly what you’d expect from a bottle created in honor of Ardbeg’s Committee Captain. A great choice for peat lovers seeking something unusual and collectible.
