Product Highlights
As one of the most iconic and revered distilleries in Scotland, Ardbeg has some of the most highly sought-after limited-edition releases. In fact, Ardbeg ranks second on the Rare Whisky 101 collectors index. Those designated “Ardbeg Day Releases” — created to celebrate the most important (single malt scotch whisky) day of the year — are the most limited and highly anticipated of all.
Pale, translucent gold in color. The nose is spicy, savory and grippy, with an explosion of savory marmite/yeast, burnt toast and charcoal and chicory-infused coffee grounds. The classic Ardbeg herbal/fennel top note is present but very much in the background of all the swirling, smoky bonfire and molasses notes.
An astonishing, spicy, fiery palate leads into an explosion of rich, powerful flavors — cocoa powder, rich dark chocolate, peanut brittle toffee, smoked lime and a suggestion of soot and bonfire embers. There’s lots of licorice/aniseed, along with some altogether sweeter, malty/biscuit flavors on the finish, and a long, lingering treacle toffee aftertaste.
