Ardbeg 17 Whisky Review + Australia’s Biggest Ardbeg Fan Competition

The famed Ardbeg 17 Year Old has returned — and this time, it’s exclusively for the Ardbeg Committee. Discontinued in 2004 and brought back by popular demand, the whisky is a blend of peated and unpeated Ardbeg spirit, bottled at 40% ABV. In this video, I review the new release of Ardbeg 17, share my tasting notes, and talk about how you can get involved in Ardbeg’s huge new competition: The Search for Australia’s Biggest Ardbeg Fan. _____________________________________ To celebrate 25 years of the Ardbeg Committee, Ardbeg is running a once-in-a-lifetime competition: • Prize: A trip to Islay, Scotland in May 2026 • Includes: Flights, a three-night stay at the brand-new Ardbeg House, and distillery tour • How to Enter: Join the Ardbeg Committee and submit a photo or video showcasing your passion for Ardbeg • Deadline: Entries close 30 November 2025 • Submit here: https://www.ardbegcommittee.com.au/pages/committee-content _____________________________________ @ardbegtv I'm Nath Martyn, The Whisky Scribe!
