DISTILLER’S NOTES:
Ardbeg Smokiverse Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a limited-edition release crafted for Ardbeg Day 2025, celebrating 25 years of the Ardbeg Committee. Produced at the renowned Ardbeg Distillery on Islay, Scotland, this non-age-stated single malt introduces a pioneering high-gravity mashing technique. By reducing water in the mash tun, the process creates a concentrated wort rich in flavor-active esters, amplifying fruity and sweet notes. Matured in ex-bourbon barrels, this non-chill filtered whisky is bottled at 48.3% ABV (96.6 proof), delivering a bold yet balanced expression of Ardbegs signature peated character.
TASTING NOTES:
-
Nose:Vibrant and fruity with smoked bubblegum, ripe barley, and toasted sourdough, evolving into sweet, tropical fruit aromas with a gentle smoky veil.
-
Palate:Creamy and lush, blending intense peat, tar, anise, and clove with brown sugar sweetness, accented by sweet oak and leather undertones.
-
Finish:Long and earthy, with lingering peat moss, bonfire embers, and a touch of charcoal warmth.
