Description
Ardbeg Ardcore Special Committee Release 50.1% 2022
Ardbeg Ardcore, a heavily peated Islay single malt created with roasted black malt barley, has been announced as 2022’s Ardbeg Day limited edition bottling.
Spicy and savory, Ardcore grips the senses, with waves of marmite, burnt toast, chicory, charcoal and infused coffee grounds making for a mosh pit in the glass. Like a safety pin through the septum, a classic Ardbeg herbal top note is present, while swirling, smoky bonfire and molasses loiter backstage.
A jaw-dropping spicy and fiery mouthfeel leads to an explosion of rich, smoky flavors – cocoa powder, dark chocolate, peanut brittle toffee, smoked lime and a suggestion of soot and bonfire embers all pogo in unison on the palate. Amped up aniseed and malty biscuit elbow their way to the fore, “punk-turing” taste buds.
In an altogether sweeter finish, long, lingering notes of treacle toffee, soot and smoke make for an anarchic, but delicious, aftertaste.
