Description

Since its establishment in 1815, The Ardbeg distillery has been on a tumultuous rollercoaster ride of ownership changes, closures, and reopening. Stability was only achieved relatively recently, when the ailing distillery was purchased in 1997 by industry giants, Glenmorangie. The subsequent years have seen the distillery's popularity swell, with fans enticed by the signature style of tarry, sooty... The Ardbeg Supernova Advance Committee Release is an extremely rare bottle, billed as one of the peatiest whiskies ever produced, with peating levels well in excess of 100ppm. It was created specially for the Ardbeg Committee and was the first ever Ardbeg Supernova release.

Nose
Nose. Peaty and spicy, this is pungent with tar, pipe tobacco, smoked paprika, hints of parma ham, chili, burning turmeric, toffee apple sweetness, citrus and malt. Palate. Massive, this is just a crescendo of intense, fiery peat, like biting into a chipotle chilli, with a-whole-nother dimension of sweetness and fruit too. Fabulous stuff, with hints of top quality mezcal, apples, lime juice and lemon curd. Finish. Coal tar, citrus, salty butter, sticking plasters, cocoa and big, warming peat that tingles the tongue for minutes.
