Ardbeg

Established in 1798, Ardbeg Distillery is a Scottish whiskey distillery located in Ardbeg on the Isle of Islay, Argyll and Bute in Scotland. Owned by Louis Vuitton Mot Hennessy, the distillery produces Islay whiskey that is extensively peated and also uses high quality malted barley from Port Ellen's Maltings. However, Ardbeg only started commercial production in 1815 and only produced mixed whiskeys and no single malts. With only 60 employees, they produced 300,000 gallons of alcohol in 1886.
