Taste the emergence of an awe inspiringly fruity Ardbeg. Notes of muscovado sugar swirl alongside searing aromas of ripening barley and toasted sourdough bread, while sweet peat smoke orbits ripe tropical fruits. Plunge your palate into a crushing mouthfeel that implodes in on itself with intensely rich, creamy flavours.
Color: Bright Gold
Aroma: An explosion of fruity, estery notes, reminiscent of smoked bubblegum, fused with whiffs of ripening barley and baked sourdough bread. A splash of water reveals dense, sweet, and aromatic peat smoke, accompanied by gently smoked tropical fruits.
Taste: A rich, creamy mouthfeel drifts into sharp, sooty and spicy notes of creosote, aniseed, and clove. Tempered by the distinct sweetness of muscovado sugar, robust woody notes orbit rich charcoal.
Finish: Finally, in an almost infinite finish, earthly peat moss fuses with sizzling bonfire embers.

This year’s Ardbeg Day release was created with “high gravity” mashing, using less water and more grain in the mash tun to intensify the flavor profile. There’s rich, sweet, and flavorful peat and grilled meats on the nose. Lots of fruit sweetness on the palate, fresh apples, apricots, and vanilla cream. On the finish, excellent length and vanilla sweetness. Great balance and texture throughout, very light and easy to drink, and well-integrated with layers of depth.—DF
