Ardbeg Ardcore - Limited Edition 2022 70cl 46°

The Single Malt Ardbeg Ardcore, the new limited edition launched on the occasion of Ardbeg Day, the annual distillery event.

Discover the distillery's newest whisky, Ardbeg Ardcore with a punk design! Also called "Punk Rock", it recalls the forgotten past of "Punk Ellen", the nickname given to the port of the island of Islay in the 1970s. The distillery invites us to celebrate on June 4 at the closing of the Islay Fèis Ìle 2022 festival: 10 days of celebration around whisky and music, discovering the distilleries of the Scottish island. 2022 marks the return to an in situ festival, with a decidedly rock atmosphere and far from the screens.

Ardcore is a real innovation in the world of peated Single Malts. Aged in ex-Bourbon casks, this new Single Malt Ardcore results from the distillation of a black malt: the cereal is heated to a very high temperature so that the malt becomes roasted, a bit like a coffee bean or of cocoa. A drying operation under surveillance... If the temperature exceeds 250°C, the malt can turn into charcoal and catch fire.

A manufacturing process that can be found in particular at Glenmorangie Signet, but never before with a peated whisky.

Mastered to perfection, Ardbeg Ardcore reveals all its crunch with notes of intense cocoa that find their balance in the middle of the charcoal and the soft smoke of this edition. The result is fiery, spicy and surprising.
