Ardbeg Perpetuum Bicentenary Release 75cl / US Import

Released in 2015 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the legendary Islay distillery, this is the standard release of Perpetuum, which was launched during Feis Ile 2015. A higher proof offering was also available to Ardbeg Committee members and at the distillery.

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.

Perpetuum is a blend of old and young whisky which has been matured in both Bourbon and Sherry casks.
