    Ardbeg Of. Alligator Rare Limited Release The Ultimate
    Information
    About the producer

    Scotland, Isle of Islay. Distillery operational. Owner: LVMH - Diageo

    Founded in 1815 by McDougall & Co. in the south-east of Islay, near the Kildalton Cross, Ardbeg's malt was for a long time overshadowed by its neighbours and competitors Lagavulin and Laphroaig.It was under the patronage of the McDonald family (Glenmorangie Plc), who bought the distillery in 1997, that it was able to develop its potential and introduce the public to the treasures sleeping in its vaults. Between September and November 1997, no less than three bottlings - two of which would become great classics - were released on the market, the Ardbeg 17 Year Old, Ardbeg 1978 and Ardbeg Provenance 1974. The following decade was rich in single cask, cask strength bottlings matured in sherry and bourbon casks, each more impressive than the next. And it was dressed in a new green bottle with confident Celtic-Gothic aesthetics that Ardbeg flooded the market for fans of malts dominated by aromas of smoke, peat and tiger balm.

    About the wine

    Ardbeg Alligator is a limited edition released in 2011 that takes its name from the special treatment of its casks. “Charred Alligator” is a term used to describe the degree of charring on the inside of the cask, with the burnt wood taking on the appearance of alligator skin. In reality a blend of two batches of Ardbeg, the first matured in new American oak casks charred using the “alligator” method, and a second aged in bourbon casks.
