Ardbeg 17 Year Old Committee Exclusive Scotch Whisky is a true legend, returning from the past with all its original charm. First released in 1997, this whisky marked a milestone for the distillery, as one of the earliest expressions to emerge after Ardbeg’s reopening. Its delicate, yet undeniably Ardbeg character, quickly won the hearts of whisky lovers, setting a high bar for the future of the distillery.

Bottled at 40% ABV—just like the 1997 release—Ardbeg 17 Years Old balances subtle smoke with layers of vanilla, citrus, and delicate peat, capturing the essence of Ardbeg in a way that’s both nostalgic and fresh.

This release is a true homage to Ardbeg’s heritage, offering long-time fans a taste of history while introducing new generations to a timeless classic.
