Introduction

This Committee Release edition continues Ardbeg’s cosmic-themed limited releases, offering members exclusive access to one of Islay’s most intense whisky experiences.

Production Method

  • Raw materials: Scottish barley malted to extremely high phenol levels (100+ ppm), far exceeding Ardbeg’s standard 55 ppm, sourced from Port Ellen maltings on Islay
  • Distillation process: Double distilled in Ardbeg’s traditional copper pot stills with their unique purifier pipes that help create their distinctive spirit character
  • Maturation: Primarily matured in first-fill ex-bourbon American oak casks, carefully selected by Dr. Bill Lumsden
  • Special techniques: Non-chill filtered and bottled at natural cask strength to preserve maximum flavor intensity and mouthfeel

Tasting Notes

  • Nose: Explosive peat smoke with notes of smoked sea salt, tarry rope, aniseed, medicinal bandages, iodine, and underlying sweet vanilla cream
  • Palate: Massive wave of peppery peat, followed by smoked meats, charred oak, dark chocolate, espresso, licorice, with hints of tropical fruits and vanilla custard
  • Finish: Extraordinarily long with lingering campfire smoke, sea spray, black pepper, menthol, and sweet spices that evolve for minutes
  • Serving temperature: Room temperature (16-18°C)
  • Glass recommendation: Tulip-shaped whisky glass or Glencairn to concentrate the aromas
  • Serving ideas: Best enjoyed neat or with a few drops of spring water to open up the complex flavors
  • Food pairings: Strong blue cheese, dark chocolate, smoked seafood, or enjoyed on its own as a contemplative dram

Product Specifications

  • Alcohol content: 53.8% ABV (cask strength)
  • Bottle size: 700ml
  • Country/Region of origin: Scotland, Islay
  • Certifications/Awards: Exclusive Committee Release, part of Ardbeg’s highly acclaimed Supernova series
