The Ardbeg distillery, located in the south of the Scottish island of Islay, can now call itself one of the best addresses for smoky single malts - after a difficult past that included closure. In addition to various whiskies that are permanently available, the distillery is known and popular for its limited bottlings that are available from time to time.
The Ardbeg Spectacular is the first from the popular and well-known Islay distillery to be matured in port wine barrels in addition to ex-bourbon barrels. In addition to the classic bourbon barrel maturation, the port barrels give the Islay malt a rich taste and an interesting color. The special bottling was created for the Fèis Ìsle Festival 2024 and was initially only available to members of the Ardbeg Committee.
Aroma: Intense with notes of lavender, vetiver and incense. Facets of leather, wax and nutty almond notes are added. With a splash of water, hints of wood smoke, peat moss and menthol are released.
Taste: Viscous and tangy with accents of salty and spicy flavors. Peat smoke, eucalyptus oil, mint chocolate and toffee dominate and transition into notes of smoked pecans, creosote and tar. Pear crumble and toffee towards the end.
