- Description
- Hypernova pushes Ardbeg's peat envelope further still, distilled from barley malt at 170ppm phenol—the highest level the distillery has ever released and more intense than the celebrated Supernova series. This is smoke in its purest form: tar, rubber, medicinal peat, and charred wood dominate from first nosing through finish, with barely a whisper of sweetness to provide balance. At 51% ABV, the texture is robust and coating, with a long ashy, peppery fade. Exclusively for those seeking maximum peat intensity.
