Caramel Caramel Peat Smoke Peat Smoke Sweet Sweet Sherry Sherry
Type Single malt whisky
Aroma Intense with notes of lavender, vetiver grass and incense. Facets of leather, wax and nutty almond notes are added. With a splash of water, hints of wood smoke, peat moss and menthol are released.
Taste Viscous and tangy with accents of salty and spicy flavours. Peat smoke, eucalyptus oil, mint chocolate and toffee dominate, leading into notes of smoked pecan, creosote and tar. Pear crumble and toffee towards the end.
Finish Long lasting with salted caramel, cooling menthol tones and a fine peat smoke note.

Product description

Product description
The Ardbeg Spectacular is the first from the popular and well-known Islay distillery to be matured in port casks as well as ex-bourbon casks. In addition to the classic bourbon cask maturation, the port casks give the Islay malt a rich flavour and interesting colouring. The special bottling was created for the Fèis Ìsle Festival 2024 and was initially only available to members of the Ardbeg Committee. On Ardbeg Day and the last day of the whisky festival on Islay, the Spectacular will go on sale on 1 June.

Ardbeg
The Ardbeg distillery was officially founded in 1815 by John McDougall. But Whisky was distilled long before that. There are no documentations, as Ardbeg was an illegal business back in 1794. read more

Aroma: Peat Smoke Spices Lemon Oak

Geschmack: Nutmeg Berries Bonfire Smoke Mint Leather

Abgang: Caramel Maritime Notes Peat Smoke

Kommentar: Der Name ist Programm. Es ist tatsächlich ein Spektakel am Gaumen. Am Ende doch recht teuer für einen NAS. Aber eben typisch Ardbeg.
