Ardbeg Arrrrrrrdbeg (with seven ‘r’s) was made available to members of the distillery’s committee in late 2020. It was created to commemorate a key event in Ardbeg's history. After 13 years at the helm, the legendary Distillery Manager and Committee Chairman Mickey Heads is departing. It’s been matured in ex-rye casks, which provides an appropriately intense lift to one of the smokiest of Islay scotches.
