If it was closed from 1981 - 1997, then how can there be a 10 YO?
It would have to have been made in 1995 to now be 10 YO, right?
how can Ardbeg 10 YO exist?

In article ,
A little googling suggests it was closed from 1983 to 1989, then reopened, then closed briefly in 1996 and '97 while it changed ownership.
cheers.

Right. I think maybe the confusion is in the terminology? The "years
old" only refers to time in barrel, when the aging matters. Once it's
moved to glass, the seasonal interactions with the charred oak barrels
no longer happens. I'm not aware of any changes, good or otherwiswe,
once it's in the bottles.

Quite right. And the current 10 year old Ardbeg, which appeared in the late 1990s, would have been distilled from 1986 on and bottled after 10 years in the barrel.
