- Description
- Released as Ardbog for Ardbeg Day 2013, this 52.1% single cask expression digs into the peat and history of Islay itself rather than pursuing maximum smokiness. The whisky delivers focused peat character—earthy and organic—layered with iodine, maritime spray, and underlying sweetness that suggests careful cask selection. Full-bodied and warming, with a finish that lingers on smoke and mineral notes. A grounded, historically minded release for those curious about terroir.
