Product description
Ardbeg, one of the oldest and most renowned distilleries on Islay, presents a new perspective on its iconic whisky with the Anamorphic Committee Release. Under the direction of Dr Bill Lumsden, the ex-bourbon casks receive a special "high mocha" treatment: the cask bases are deeply notched and burnt out to maximise the wood surface. This unique process enhances the traditional Ardbeg notes, softens salty nuances and intensifies the hidden chocolate sweetness and mocha notes. The result is a multi-layered dram that harmoniously combines SWEET, SMOKED, HERBAL and SHARPNESS in a completely new way, giving Ardbeg's character a new direction.

The Distillery: Ardbeg
The Ardbeg distillery was officially founded in 1815 by John McDougall. But Whisky was distilled long before that. There are no documentations, as Ardbeg was an illegal business back in 1794.

Comment: Overall a very interesting whisky, it does the classic Ardbeg flavour in a bit of a different way. The price is a bit high though in my opinion, that's what deducts a bit from the overall score.

Herstellerbeschreibung
on 04.10.2024
Aroma: Erdig, staubig und leicht biskuitartig mit dezenten ruß-teerigen Noten und seidiger Vanille, ergänzt durch florale Nuancen von geräucherter Vetiverwurzel, Anis, Fenchel, Chrysantheme und Jasmin.
Geschmack: Pfeffrige Aromen entfalten sich mit Chili-Schokolade, bittersüßem Mokka, Bruyèreholz, Birkenteer, gemahlenem schwarzem Pfeffer und geräucherten Artischocken.
Abgang: Ein Crescendo reichhaltiger, rauchiger Aromen entfaltet sich und hinterlässt einen unglaublich langanhaltenden Nachgeschmack von Holzkohle, Bittermandeln und Melasse.
