A gloriously smoky whisky single malt from iconic Islay distillery Ardbeg. And one deemed best loved by the Ardbeg Committee fan club! The non-chill-filtered dram is matured using ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks and the result is warm, rich, spicy and peaty. Ideal sipped neat or lengthened with soda. The whisky takes its name from the Gaelic translation of ‘a dark, mysterious place’.

Tasting note:

Nose: Initially Christmassy, with cedar, pine, chocolate and nuttiness, giving way to banana bread, orange peel, and a deep, smouldering bonfire smoke. 

Palate: mouth-coating and rich, with deeper smoky notes followed by honey, treacle tart, sweet spices and cigar smoke. Lifts beautifully with water. 

Finish: Honey gives way to mocha, all held in a woody smoke.
