Ardbeg Corryvreckan Tradd Moore Edition 4 x 70cl

You would not think it to see it now, but Ardbeg had a difficult time of it for much of the 20th century. The distillery was bought in a joint venture between Hiram Walker and DCL in 1959, both intending to supply their blends. The subsequent years were very successful, but DCL backed out in 1979 (closing many of their other distilleries a few years later), and Hiram Walker then struggled in the 1980s era oversupply when interest is blended Scotch was waning. They closed it down for the majority of the decade. It re-opened briefly in the 1990s before being revived for good by Glenmorangie plc in 1997.

Ardbeg Corryvreckan is named after the famous whirlpool off the northern tip of Jura. Released in 2009, this expression joined the Ardbeg 10 year old and Uigeadail as a core range product, replacing the Airgh Nam Beist. It was matured in predominantly French oak casks and American oak bourbon casks.

These four limited edition labels were produced by American comic book artist Tradd Moore. Released in June 2024 to coincide with the introduction of the distillery's 34 year old The Abyss expression, these were only available at the distillery shop.

Each variation is one of 250 bottles.

Please note this lot will incur a four bottle shipping fee.
