It was bought by the Glenmorangie group, itself owned by LVMH and Diageo. The investments to put the tool back afloat are around 5 million euros. Ardbeg has thus returned to its tradition of producing very peaty and very smoky single malt. Nowadays the distillery no longer produces its own malts, this activity was stopped in 1977. At the time, the barley drying system on peat fire was deliberately not ventilated so that the smoke permeates as much as possible. in barley.
