It’s that time of year again!

3rd June rolls around marking Ardbeg Day! Last year we got our hands on the Ardbeg Dark Cove, and this year we get a look at the new Ardbeg Kelpie!

Perched on the southern coast of Islay, the Ardbeg Distillery has forever held a deep connection to the sea. The depths around Ardbeg are full of legends of mysterious creatures that inhabit the skerries (small rocky islands) and kelp seaweed forests off our shore.

Ardbeg Kelpie is named for the legends of the sea around Ardbeg. The whisky’s powerful aromas of oily peat, salty seaweed and tarry rope have been produced by virgin oak casks from the Black Sea, intermingled with the hallmark Ardbeg flavour profile. Waves of spicy black pepper give way to a delectable tide of bacon and dark chocolate for a deep, enticing dram.

On Saturday 3rd June 2017, celebrate Ardbeg Day 2017 and the mysterious creature that will be joining us this year – Ardbeg Kelpie!

Come and experience the spirit of Islay as you have never experienced it before, and go deep under the sea to bring those legends to life.

This year, you will be able to get on the water in a chance to catch your own Kelpie. Join our Ardbegian Boat Regatta on the River Thames and have the experience of decorating your own ship and race against other Kelpie hunters. An adventure open to all … will you dare and try to catch your own Kelpie at sea?

For those not wanting to test their sea legs, Ardbeg games will be open to all and great prizes will be up for grabs (but who will manage to catch them with their lobster claws?!); a pub quiz will test who is the biggest Ardbeg fan, food, and cocktails from all smoky natures and of course, you will have the chance to taste the celebrated Kelpie for the very first time. You will not be disappointed!
