What it’s like

The smoothest version in Ardbeg’s core range. It combines whiskies matured in Pedro Ximénez, charred virgin oak and bourbon casks, which are then married in a French oak vat. The result rounds off the house peat with the sweetness of dried fruit, toffee and spice, without losing its smoky character. It is a good gateway to Ardbeg for those who find the ten-year-old too intense.

Nose
Peat smoke, toffee and dried fruit, with aniseed and a touch of spice.
Palate
Rounded and smoky. Caramel, raisins, peat and soft pepper, with some aniseed.
Finish
Long, smoky and sweet, with hints of dried fruit and toffee.
