Single Cask #247

This is Ardbeg at its most singular and uncompromising. Single Cask #247 was distilled under the supervision of Dr Bill on 20 February 2013 and matured entirely for eight years in a very rare second fill Manzanilla butt, a cask choice that adds savoury depth without muting Ardbeg’s ferocious peat. Bottled at full cask strength, it delivers intensity, texture, and precision in equal measure.

What makes this release truly exceptional is its scarcity and clarity of purpose. Limited to just 670 bottles worldwide and available only through Ardbeg Embassies, this is a whisky that balances raw power with surprising finesse. The Manzanilla influence brings nutty dryness and spice, while Ardbeg’s signature smoke remains front and centre. A serious collector piece that also delivers profoundly satisfying drinking.
