Ardbeg Spectacular

Ardbeg Spectacular is a limited-edition, no-age-statement single malt whisky produced at the Ardbeg Distillery on the isle of Islay. Dubbed a `phenolic phenomenon`, this special bottling of Ardbeg was to commemorate Ardbeg Day 2024. For the first time, this limited-edition release has been matured in ex-Port wine casks, lending a sweetness to Ardbeg`s signature smoky style of single malt. Producer note. "Years in ex-Bourbon and Port wine casks have imparted a mesmerising array of bizarre notes. Fragrant lavender, vetiver and incense candles tumble into rich almond nuttiness. Deeper notes such as damp peat and woodsmoke introduce a daring double act of creosote and tar, before leather and minty chocolate leap across to sweet pear crumble and salted caramel fudge.
