Where Ardbeg is, has been and always will be made by people genuinely devoted to producing The Ultimate Islay Malt. Ardbeg the whisky is Ardbeg the place, in all its raw natural beauty. There have been many ups and downs on the long road to Ardbeg throughout the years. Ardbeg’s story is one of irrepressible spirit surviving against the odds, finally emerging as “unquestionably, the greatest distillery on Earth”.
Every year we celebrate Ardbeg Day (usually the first Saturday in June). With Ardbeg Day we get to experience a limited edition bottling from the distillery. New, creative and never to be released again. Some of the past releases of the Ardbeg Day bottlings are now fetching inflated prices. They are a whisky collectors dream. This year we see the distillery have decided not to use their purifier.
Essentially the vapours rise up the still, are condensed and caught in the purifier, where the heavier compounds fall back to the still, this process happens over and over and result in the well known floral fruitiness that accompanies Ardbeg’s strong peat flavour. But with the purifier removed this process is avoided resulting in a big, bold, peaty Ardbeg whisky bottled at 46% ABV without chill-filtration.
Our Tasting Notes
Nose: Heavy with earthy spice, rock salt and campfire embers, with a touch of treacle.
Taste: Heavy flavours of dark chocolate, charred meat, earthy spices and stewed apples with a constant layer of heavy campfire smoke.
Finish: Dry wood on a fire, smoke and unsweetened cocoa.
