The Ardbeg distillery, unofficially in operation since 1794, was officially founded in 1815 by John McDougall under the name Ardbeg. The name comes from the Gaelic and means "little hill". The distillery is located on the south coast of the famous whisky region of Islay, known for its characterful whiskies.

One of Ardbeg's most legendary creations was the Ardbeg Corryvreckan Limited Edition, the centrepiece of which was matured in heavily toasted French oak casks. Only a few of these historic casks have survived to this day and have now been reborn in the exceptionally rare Ardbeg The Abysse. This whisky, bottled at cask strength, is limited to just 400 bottles and stands for absolute exclusivity.

With Ardbeg The Abysse, a legend is being retold - a whisky that is destined to become a legend in its own right. This unique edition will never be available again in this form.
