In 1999, the Ardbeg Distillery started a "fan club" of sorts by creating the Ardbeg Committee. The Ardbeg Committee was officially founded on The First Day of the First Month in the Year Two Thousand AD. That's "fancy speak" for, 1/1/2000. According to Rules and Regulations: Page 4, Section 2, the Committee is established to "promote the advancement of general knowledge and enjoyment of Ardbeg."
Essentially, the Ardbeg Committee is free to join, and it is a way for Ardbeg to keep all of their fans up to date with news in, on and around the Distillery. Conversely, Ardbeg fans and drinkers are able to buy whisky and merchandise online from the Ardbeg Shop. In addition, Committee members have exclusive rights to Committee Bottles released yearly only for Committee members.
