Since its establishment in 1815, The Ardbeg distillery has been on a tumultuous rollercoaster ride of ownership changes, closures, and reopening. Stability was only achieved relatively recently, when the ailing distillery was purchased in 1997 by industry giants, Glenmorangie. The subsequent years have seen the distillery’s popularity swell, with fans enticed by the signature style of tarry, sooty smoke, balanced against citric sweetness and an oily mouthfeel. While Ardbeg still retains its distinctive personality, it has definitely been influenced by Glenmorangie’s propensity for experimenting with cask finishing, and (dare we say it) NAS expressions.
Anamorphic Committee Release:
This limited edition release was created using an experimental cask charring technique. The cask heads are removed and scored to expose more surface area, then heavily toasted with a precise infra-red process. The insides of the barrels are aggressively charred before filling them with the new make spirit.
Bottled: 2023
Cask Type: Bourbon
48.2% ABV / 70cl
