In 2023, we invited some of our most loyal Committee Members to the West Maltings at the Distillery to participate in a top-secret experiment named Operation Smokescreen. Unbeknownst to them, they were influencing the next Ardbeg Committee Exclusive – and a very special one, at that.
In celebration of 25 years of the Ardbeg Committee, we unveil Eureka! A skillful marriage of PX sherry casks combined with roasted malt spirit matured in bourbon casks and offered at 52.2% alcohol strength. Anticipate juicy red apples and plump cherries on the nose, with signature smoke and fresh coffee granules. The palate explodes with nut toffee brittle, raisin fudge and dark fruits, running to a long and chewy finish with sweet treacle toffee and burning embers.
Exclusively for our Members
Formed in 2000 with a shared purpose “to ensure the doors of Ardbeg never close again”, for a monumental two and a half decades now, the Ardbeg Committee has faithfully fulfilled its duties to spread the good word of Ardbeg far and wide. From embracing our full throttle whiskies to wholeheartedly participating in Ardbeg Day celebrations each year, you’ve made Ardbeg more than a whisky; you’ve made it a way of life.
As we celebrate 25 years, we raise a dram to you — the dreamers, the drammers, the free spirits, the flavour chasers, the pioneers, the explorers – and everyone in between. Here’s to many more adventures, surprises and smoky delights. May our doors — and our bottles — stay open forever.
Ardbeg Eureka will be available to be pre-ordered by members of the Ardbeg Committee in March.
