Ardbeg 17 Year Old: A Discontinued Line

The Ardbeg Distillery no longer produces 17 year old single malt which makes this whisky very much a collector's item. Only a few years ago, it could be bought for less than £50.00 a bottle but now you should expect to pay at least three times that, always assuming you can actually find a bottle to purchase. The most likely place to find it is on e-Bay where there remains the remote possibility that you can pick up a bargain. I will feature any current such e-Bay auctions further down this page.
