Where there’s smoke, there’s Ardbeg Ten Years, Ardbeg Wee Beastie or Ardbeg an Oa
Ardbeg whisky is the world’s most awarded single malt whisky due to its distinctive peaty and smokey flavour. Ardbeg’s unique character has made the brand popular among anyone who characterize themselves as extremely dedicated in everything they do. With this target audience in mind, Ardbeg entered the world of graphic novels. Inspired by the flavour profiles, history and distillation techniques of three distinct Ardbeg editions: Ardbeg Ten Years, Ardbeg Wee Beastie and Ardbeg an Oa, the comic book ‘Planet Ardbeg’ was created in collaboration with three pioneering international comic artists. Now Planet Ardbeg is coming to life in Amsterdam, with each participating cocktail bar telling a unique story.
Planet Ardbeg Tour Amsterdam
In collaboration with cocktail bars Flying Dutchmen Cocktails, LuminAir, J.D. Williams whisky bar and Bar Feijoa, Ardbeg is introducing a three-day Planet Ardbeg Tour in the capital. Each bar, with its own take on Ardbeg’s flavour profile, has put its own signature Ardbeg cocktail on the menu. Step into flagship Flying Dutchmen Cocktails, or any of the other bars, where Planet Ardbeg comes to life.

The following smokey whisky cocktails are on the Planet Ardbeg menu: Flying Dutchmen Cocktails combines the sweetness of the most complex Ardbeg Ten Years Old with strawberry aperitif, aromatic plant elixir and hazelnut balsamic vinegar in the ‘Attack of the Sea Serpent’ cocktail.
The Ardbeg Wee Beastie is known for being the rawest and smokiest Ardbeg ever. Cocktail bars Feijoa and J.D. Williams each introduce a separate cocktail based on the intense flavour of this whisky.
