Ardbeg 25 Year Old Vintage Y2K 2026

Ardbeg Vintage Y2K is a series of limited releases from the year 2000. This was a significant period for the distillery, the early days after its renovation and revival. For Ardbeg fans, this range is an opportunity to taste the beginning of a new era. For the third and final edition, Ardbeg 25 Year Old Vintage Y2K 2026 was finished in Spanish Tempranillo red wine casks sourced from Bodega Numanthia, making it the first Vintage Y2K release to use wine casks from another Moët Hennessy house.

Buy one during the competition period and you will receive 72 entries into the draw.

Ardbeg

10 Year Old

70cl • 46%

Product

Tasting notes

The starting point for Ardbeg and still one of Islay’s great benchmark malts. Matured in bourbon casks and bottled at 46% ABV, Ardbeg 10 Year Old delivers the distillery’s unmistakable smoke without burying everything beneath it. Expect tar, sea spray and dense peat, cut through with lemon, lime, creamy sweetness and a touch of espresso. Serious whisky, but dependable enough to become a regular fixture.

Ardbeg Wee Beastie

5 Year Old

70cl • 47.4%

Product

Tasting notes

Youth is celebrated in Ardbeg Wee Beastie. Matured for just five years in bourbon and oloroso sherry casks, Wee Beastie presents Ardbeg’s spirit at its impertinent best. Bottled at 47.4% ABV, it is full of pepper, tar, piney peat and smoked meat, with dark chocolate bringing some welcome sweetness. An affordable, full-throttle introduction, and an antidote to any notion that young is wrong in whisky.

Ardbeg

An Oa

70cl • 46.6%

Product

Tasting notes

The more rounded member of the Ardbeg family, not that anybody would accuse it of being shy. An Oa brings together whisky matured in bourbon casks, Pedro Ximénez sherry casks and new charred oak, married in the distillery’s gathering vat. Notes of coastal peat and cigar smoke with creamy toffee, dates, orange and gentle spice. A very accommodating magic carpet ride into the bold world of Ardbeg.

Uigeadail

70cl • 54.2%

Product

Tasting notes

Named after the loch that supplies Ardbeg’s water, Uigeadail ("Oog-a-dal") blends bourbon-matured whisky with rich oloroso sherry casks then keeps things robust with 54.2% ABV bottling strength. This single malt piles fruitcake, treacle, smoked meat and winter spice on top of Ardbeg’s oily peat and coastal character. Dark and deeply satisfying, it is a long-standing favourite among the distillery’s committed following.

Ardbeg

Corryvreckan

70cl • 57.1%

Product

Tasting notes

Our last stop on the Islay tour actually takes us to a notorious whirlpool north of the island, close to Jura. The name is well-picked, as Corryvreckan is the most uncompromising of the range. Bourbon casks and new French oak bring together muscular peat smoke, black pepper, dark chocolate, espresso and ripe black fruit, bottled at a substantial 57.1% ABV. It is powerful stuff, but there is sweetness and complexity enough beneath the turbulence.

Ardbeg Trudernish

15 Year Old

70cl • 48.8%

Product

Tasting notes

Ardbeg’s whisky makers matured their smoky, balanced spirit in bourbon, new charred oak and Oloroso sherry casks over 15 years, for mellow creaminess and softer smoke. A trace of earthy peat flits from the glass, as aromas of woodsmoke drift across dried herbs and chocolate lime. Tastes of vanilla and nuts are folded into decadent notes of creamy fudge sauce. The whisky’s harmony of flavours is enhanced by its ABV of 48.8%.
