The distillery is owned by Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy, and produces a heavily peated Islay whisky.  The distillery uses malted barley sourced from the maltings in Port Ellen.

The Ardbeg distillery has been producing whisky since 1798 and began commercial production in 1815.

 Created with roasted black malt barley; this malt is what defines its distinctive profile. Notes of charcoal and sweet smoke on the nose, with potent notes of aniseed and dark chocolate on the palate.
