Description
In August 2020 Ardbeg announced that it was to release it very first beer in collaboration with Williams Brothers Brewing Company. The Shortie is a 6.2% smoky porter, made using the same peated malt as their award-winning Ardbeg Ten Years Old whisky. Dark and malty with subtle tropical aromas, The Shortie is a well-digging, mouth-watering Smoky Porter.
After completion, the beer was entered into the Global Gathering project. This was a collaboration of over 240 brewers who created limited edition beers which would raise money to provide clean water for 100,000 people in developing countries. Originally scheduled for release to support World Water Day on the 22nd March 2020, the debut was postponed until August due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
This beer is limited to just 4,500 four-packs.

About the Distillery:
The Ardbeg distillery was officially founded in 1815 by John McDougall. But Whisky was distilled there long before that. There are no documentations, as Ardbeg was an illegal business back in 1794. The distillery is now owned by LVMH (Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy), which also owns Glenmorangie distillery in the Highlands of Scotland. The current capacity is just over one million litres per annum and its water source is Loch Uigeadail, after which one of its famous releases is named.
