- Description
- Ardcore channels Ardbeg's smoke-forward identity through heavily roasted black malt, creating an intensely aromatic expression with burnt toast, marmite, coffee, and char aromas at 46% ABV. The palate is layered and dark—cocoa powder, dark chocolate, peanut brittle, and toffee mingle with aniseed and soot, underpinned by the roasted grain character. This is a food-friendly, high-impact Islay for adventurous palates seeking something beyond traditional peat profiles.
