Producer Note: “We’re launching with a smoky Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky aged 19 years for the First Witch - this is a fantastic example of a distillate I adore with quite a rich maturation. As we develop The Witches, we’ll embrace the blending analogy with the fourth release, Hekate, ruler of the witches, as a blend of the first three.”

Ardbeg 17 Year
$249.99
Limit 1 Per Customer! - The Ardbeg 17 is back, and it is bottled at 40% just like the original in the mid-2000s as an homage. Though initially disappointed by this, we were impressed with it when we finally had the chance to try it!
Producer Description
"Released over 25 years ago in 1997, 17 Years Old was one of the first bottles to leave the Distillery after reopening. Unusually delicate, yet unmistakably Ardbeg, this whisky found a place in the hearts of the Committee, and set an extraordinary standard for our future."

Ardbeg Smokiverse
$154.99
The Ardbeg Committee celebrates its 25th Anniversary this year, with the release of Ardbeg Smokiverse. This Ardbeg Day bottling has been bottled at 48.3% from a batch of spirit produced from a high gravity mash. According to Ardbeg "This process unlocks a fruitier, more intense Ardbeg. Layers of muscovado sugar, ripe barley, and toasted sourdough bread, culminate in a burst of ripe tropical fruits and sweet peat." Limit 2 Per Customer!
Producer Description
"As we celebrate 25 years of the Ardbeg Committee in 2025, we venture further into space once more… Behold the immense magnetism of Ardbeg’s mash tun. Responsible for converting our malted barley into fermentable sugars (mashing), all life at Ardbeg revolves around the tun. This time, however, it has become a force to be reckoned with, as we concentrate its power to materialise a new frontier of flavour for Ardbeg.
"Experimenting with a process called ‘high gravity mashing’, our intrepid whisky creators vastly decreased the amount of water in the mash tun, then packed more grain into the mix than ever before. Crushing and compressing every drop of liquid, this unconventional mash has magnified the intensity of flavour-active acetate esters. Ramping up the density of wort to astronomical levels, we’ve drawn in fruitier, sweeter flavours from the deepest corners of the mash tun."
Ardbeg Scorch
$169.99
The 2021 Feis Ile release Scorch Limited Edition has been bottled at 46% from a parcel of Ardbeg matired in the most heavily charred ex-BOurbon casks.
Producer Description
"A dram of fantastical proportions. For many moons, Islay folk have told tales of herous and dragons. 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... Matured 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. This truly is a dram of fantastical proportions."
Ardbeg 25 Year
$1,499.99
Bottled at 46%, the Ardbeg 25 Year is the oldest whisky in the distillery's core range.
Producer Description
"Bottled from incredibly rare casks filled during some of the Distillery’s darkest days, this is the oldest whisky to join our core range. This supreme expression proves unequivocally that age cannot tame Ardbeg’s smoky power. But it can yield some of the most complex and majestic flavours ever to burst forth from Ardbeg Distillery."
Smokehead Islay
$55.49
Bottled at 43%, this NAS "mystery Islay single malt" is rumoured to come from the eastern most distillery on the island's southern coast.
Producer Description
"Smokehead is a heavily peated Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky that’s intensely rich yet subtly sweet. With immense smoke and notes of sea salt and spice, this is a vigorous whisky that stands out from the crowd."
