Description

Ardbeg Dark Cove Committee Release is a heavily peated Islay single malt whisky, bottled at 55% ABV. This limited edition, non-chill filtered expression was released in 2016 for Ardbeg Committee members, celebrating Ardbeg Day. It was matured in a combination of ex-bourbon and 'dark' sherry casks, aiming to be the 'darkest Ardbeg ever' and drawing inspiration from the distillery's illicit past.
