Ardbeg
It's incredible to think that at one point in the 1980s Ardbeg was closed and looked like the whisky would disappear for good. Today it is one of the most sought-after malts in the world and thanks to its owners LVMH group it is also becoming a 'luxury' malt. The distillery sources its malt from Port Ellen maltings and it is peated to a level of 55ppm.
