A detailed tour looking at the distillation process at the Distillery, including a peek at the steps that makes Ardbeg unique on Islay.

DAYS: Monday to Friday
£50 per person / lasts 1 hr 15 mins – no under 18s
Take the padlock off the dunnage warehouse and grab a valinch – we’re taking you into the famous Warehouse 3. Surrounded by barrels, butts and barriques you’ll sample some incredible whiskies straight from the cask. Taste and compare how aging in different casks affect maturation. An intimate and atmospheric tasting, visits to Warehouse 3 always fill up in advance. (This experience does not include a tour of the Distillery.)
NOTE: This is a guided tasting, to be enjoyed in the warehouse along with your guide. As such Driver’s Drams are not offered, but drivers can join for a reduced fee and can take away miniature of Ardbeg Ten Years Old.
