Ardbeg Blasda Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Ardbeg's deliberate departure from its signature style, Blasda uses significantly reduced peat levels (8ppm versus the standard 10-year-old's 23ppm) to create an entry point into Islay whisky. The restrained smoke allows citrus, brine, and maritime minerals to emerge alongside subtle orchard fruit and spice, with a lighter, more approachable body. This 2008 release suits those curious about Islay character who find heavily peated expressions overwhelming.
