Ardbeg Ardcore / Committee Release Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Ardbeg's 2022 Committee release, Ardcore, employs heavily roasted black malt to create a distinctively dark and roasted character uncommon in Islay whisky. The nose presents a kitchen garden of burnt toast, coffee grounds, charcoal, and herbaceous bonfire smoke, while the palate introduces cocoa powder, dark chocolate, and toffee alongside soot and aniseed. At 50.1%, the spirit maintains drying smoke while delivering unexpected confectionery depth. This is for adventurous drinkers seeking Ardbeg's peat expressed through unconventional grain handling.
