Among other facts, he mentioned that Ardbeg is one of the Islay whiskies, and that it is one of the three distilleries called the Kildalton distilleries. The other ones are Laphroaig and Lagavulin. The distillery was closed between 1981 and 1989. The distillery has distilled legally since 1815, but started in the 1790s. The distillery was owned by the MacDougalls until 1976. It was then sold to Allied. The distillery was bought by Glenmorangie for GBP 7 million, after outbidding eight other rival distilleries.
After the tasting, the the marks (above) were given.
