Ardbeg Anamorphic Limited Edition Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
Volume: 700ml ABV: 48.2% Age: No Age Statement Country: Scotland
Ardbeg Anamorphic is a limited edition whisky created using an experimental “high mocha” cask charring and toasting process. This technique, developed by Ardbeg’s Director of Distilling and Whisky Creation, Dr. Bill Lumsden, involves removing the heads of ex-bourbon casks, scoring them deeply to expose more wood, and then intensely charring them before refilling. This unique process is designed to temper the signature Ardbeg brine while amplifying notes of mocha and chocolate. It is a Committee exclusive, bottled at 48.2% alc/vol and non-chill filtered. The name “Anamorphic” refers to a type of optical illusion, which reflects the whisky’s ability to “morph” between four core flavours.
Our Tasting Notes
Nose: This is an earthy and dusty Ardbeg with hints of biscuit. The sooty and tarry notes are present but restrained, balanced by a silky vanilla sweetness. With a little water, it opens up to reveal herbal and floral notes of smoked vetiver root, aniseed, fennel, chrysanthemum, and jasmine.
Palate: The mouthfeel is peppery and warming. It delivers an explosion of flavours including chilli flavoured chocolate, bittersweet mocha, briar wood, birch tar, ground black pepper, and smoked artichokes. The sooty and tarry notes build over time, creating a rich and smoky experience.
Finish: The finish is long and lingering, with a crescendo of rich, smoky flavours and an aftertaste of charcoal, bitter almonds, and molasses.
