Ardbeg Supernova / Stellar Release / Bot.2009 Islay Whisky

Ardbeg Supernova from 2009 is the peatiest release the distillery has ever produced, exceeding 100 ppm and bottled at punishing cask strength of 58.9% ABV. Waves of acrid smoke, tar, and burnt rubber dominate, yet a seam of coastal brine and faint citrus prevents it from becoming one-dimensional. A landmark Islay for those seeking maximum phenolic intensity and willingness to add water.
