The Ardbeg Monsters of Smoke gift set contains three 200ml expressions from the Islay distillery, each presenting a different facet of Ardbeg's heavily peated character. The set includes: Ardbeg 10 Year Old (46% ABV) — the flagship expression, aged 10 years primarily in ex-bourbon casks; Ardbeg Wee Beastie (47.4% ABV) — a younger, unpeated and heavily smoky expression aged five years in ex-bourbon and Pedro Ximenes casks; and Ardbeg An Oa (46.6% ABV) — aged in a combination of ex-bourbon, ex-Pedro Ximenes sherry, and virgin oak casks. Each bottle features peelable labels with exclusive artwork inspired by vintage B-movie horror.

Ardbeg Distillery was established in 1815 on the south coast of Islay, Scotland's most southerly whisky island, where Atlantic-exposed peat bogs define the landscape and flavour. The distillery is among the most heavily peated in Scotland, with spirit typically reaching around 55 parts per million of phenol. After a difficult period of closure from 1981, Ardbeg was reopened in 1989 and acquired by Glenmorangie Company in 1997, subsequently coming under LVMH ownership. Today the distillery has a fiercely loyal global following through the Ardbeg Committee, a member community of over one million enthusiasts. Islay's damp coastal air and mineral-rich water from Loch Uigeadail contribute to Ardbeg's distinctive medicinal, smoky, and maritime character.
