Fantasy Island Map
Greetings, Ardbeggian! Welcome to Ardbeg Day 2021's fantasy island map of Islay

A FLAVOUR
BREATHING BEAST
For many moons, Islay folk have told tales of heroes and dragons. Yet none match the tail of Ardbeg’s definitely-real-and-totally-not-made-up flavour breathing dragon... Dwelling in Dunnage 3, scorching staves and burning barrels, they say Ardbeg Scorch is the product of its fiery temperament.
Fragrant patchouli interlaces with bold notes of quenched steel and saddle soap. Billowy clouds of sweet smoke and charred oak permeate the palate, as briarwood, sage and pine wisp their way to the fore.
Will you get your claws on a bottle… and live to tell the tale? Learn more about the lairs of flavour in Ardbeg Scorch here.
