Introducing this year’s limited edition release, Ardbeg Spectacular, Dark Circus!
Prepare to snatch the cloak from this latest limited edition and reveal to the world the palate-provoking, taste-tantalising, whisky wonder that is…Ardbeg Spectacular.
A first for Ardbeg, this whisky has been matured in highly sought-after port wine casks, then married with classic bourbon barrels.
Creating an extraordinarily smoky and balanced Ardbeg dram that imparts all manner of peculiar notes and aromas. This is devilish sweet meets smoky peat!
Non chill-filtered and bottled at 46% ABV.Tasting Notes:
Colour: Sunset orange.
Nose: Curiously perfumed and aromatic, a big top note of fragrant lavender tumbles into vetiver and incense candles. Down below, deeper notes of leather and wax dance alongside a rich almond nuttiness. A splash of water reveals gentle wisps of woodsmoke and damp peat moss. Hints of menthol hurl headlong into rich antique leather.
Palate: : A viscous mouthfeel bursts forth to introduce a sparkling array of salty, sweet, and savoury flavours. Peat smoke, eucalyptus oil, minty chocolate and toffee mingle with smoked pecans, creosote, and tar. Subtle sweet pear crumble and fudge lurk in the background.
Finish: Finally, a long and lingering finale of salted caramel and cooling menthol brings this showstopping spectacle of flavour to a close.
