Ardbog Day will be celebrated at all our consulates and especially at Ardbeg Embassy in Gamla stan in Stockholm. Attend Ardbog Day at Ardbeg Embassylslay is a bog When you fly in over Islay it all looks like a big bog of peat. And that is exactly what it is. That is also the reason why we call our new bottle Ardbog. A salty burst of flavours Ardbog gives of an aroma of many different flavours, from pecan nuts and salty toffee to leather and lavender. When tasting you will experience the powerful and salty burst of flavors like cashew, green olives and a hint of anchovy, followed by a long aftertaste of Ardbeg's classic sweetness kept in check by oak tannins and coffee grounds. If you add some water you will discover perfumed notes of smoked rhubarb and aged balsamic vinegar.The small, remote Scottish island of Islay (pronounced 'eye-lah') is an antique land. A wild and untamed place, where Celtic monks found refuge from raiding Norsemen and early distillers smuggled their illicit 'aquavitae' at Ardbeg's rugged rocky cove. Abundant soft water, fertile soil and acres of precious peat makes this Island a place of pilgrimage for the single malt whisky faithful. Ardbeg prides itself on being the 'Ultimate Islay Malt Whisky'. Established in 1815, Ardbeg is revered by connoisseurs around the world as the peatiest, smokiest and most complex of all the Islay malts widely available. Despite its smokiness, Ardbeg is renowned for its delicious sweetness, a phenomenon that has affectionately become known as 'the peaty paradox'.
