Description

Ardbeg Blaaack Committee Release is a limited edition Islay single malt Scotch whisky, bottled in 2020 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Ardbeg Committee. This unique expression is notable for being matured in Pinot Noir wine casks sourced from New Zealand, a first for Ardbeg. It combines the distillery's hallmark peat smoke with rich red fruit influences, creating a distinctive and complex character. The Committee Release was bottled at 50.7% ABV and is non-chill filtered.
