It’s a two-peat for Ardbeg.
For the second year in a row, the scotch whisky is taking the Distillery of the Year title back to its island home. The International Whisky Competition (IWC), the world’s most well-known whisky competition, praised Ardbeg for its “exceptional craftmanship in the art of making whisky.”
Ardbeg submitted five expressions — Ardbeg Uigeadail, Ardbeg Grooves, Ardbeg An Oa, Ardbeg Corryvreckan and Ardbeg Ten Years Old.
Each scored over 90 points, which was a first in IWC’s history. Ardbeg Uigeadail was also awarded with the titles Best Single Malt and Best Peated Whisky.
“We are truly honoured to be named IWC Distillery of the Year – and delighted that Ardbeg’s entire range came in for such high praise,” said Dr. Bill Lumsden, Director of Distilling, Whisky Creation & Whisky Stocks for Ardbeg.
