Dr. Bill Lumsden, Chief Distillery and Production Officer, and the creative team cast a spell on this rare barrel, creating the Ardbeg Y2K series. The memorable first work, “Ardbeg Y2K 23 Years”, was born through a historical story. Why not try a special whiskey that connects the beginning of Ardbeg with the beginning of the next generation?

In 2000, the distillery began to regain momentum after being acquired by Glenmorangie and refurbished.
For Ardbeg, it is aged for 23 years using unblended sake that was born in the era of rebirth.
We use the first unblended sake produced in 2000. This is the last spirit to be distilled using the historic still, which was used at Ardbeg for 51 years until it was retired in 2001. This whiskey, which is steeped in Ardbeg’s history, has been aged in the finest bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks.
“Ardbeg Y2K 23 represents a hugely important year for Ardbeg. Produced in historic stills at the dawn of a new era, this ultra-rare whiskey has been carefully preserved at the distillery ever since. From herbal, citrusy notes to bursting with soot, peppermint and coffee, this retro collector’s classic is the epitome of Ardbeg nostalgia. – Bill Lumsden, Chief Distillery and Manufacturing Officer
