Ardbeg distillery (Scottish Gaelic: Taigh-staile na h-Àirde Bige) is Islay single malt Scotch whisky distillery in Ardbeg on the South coast of the isle of Islay, Argyll and Bute, Scotland, in the Inner Hebrides group of islands.

The distillery is owned by Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy, and produces a heavily peated Islay whisky.[2] The distillery uses malted barley sourced from the maltings in Port Ellen.

The name Ardbeg is an anglicisation of the Scottish Gaelic An Àird Bheag, meaning The Small Promontory.
