- Description
- The 2014 Supernova resurrects Ardbeg's heaviest-hitting peated expression, bottled at a formidable 55% ABV to showcase the distillery's most aggressive smoke profile. Waves of bonfire smoke and charred barley dominate, but a seam of orchard fruit and vanilla sweetness running through the palate prevents it from becoming one-dimensional. The high alcohol content creates a warming, slightly oily mouthfeel with a peppery, persistent finish. Essential for those building a comprehensive Ardbeg collection.
