This single-cask 2013 Ardbeg, eight years old and matured in a second-fill Manzanilla butt, demonstrates how seaside sherry complements Islay's maritime character. The Manzanilla wood contributes salted walnut and olive oil aromatics that enhance rather than mask the distillery's core peat, while the palate develops spiced, burnt caramel, and smoked cinnamon notes atop black pepper smoke. At 60.7%, the whisky is bold yet balanced. An exclusive embassy release ideal for those who appreciate restrained sherry influence on peated spirits.
