Description
With the Ardbeg Spectacular, the iconic Islay distillery presents an exciting and extraordinary novelty that will delight whisky fans worldwide. This limited edition was released exclusively for Ardbeg Day - the annual celebration day for all Ardbeggians - and marks a real first in the history of the distillery: for the first time, an Ardbeg has been matured in rare port casks. In combination with classic ex-bourbon casks, this creates a multi-layered aroma profile that reveals both traditional Ardbeg characteristics and new depths of flavor.
The idea for this bottling came from Gillian Macdonald, Master Blender at Ardbeg. With "Spectacular", she wanted to create an aromatic firework that combines the typical smoky and maritime notes of the distillery with the fruity, spicy and dark facets of port maturation. The composition of dark chocolate, candied fruit, mint, smoked pecan nuts and smoked candle smoke unfolds in a sensory performance that lives up to its name.
With an alcohol content of 46% vol., non-chill-filtered and natural, the Ardbeg Spectacular is a real highlight for collectors and connoisseurs, once again demonstrating the innovative power and creativity of the distillery. (automated translation)
Tasting notes:
Color: Rich copper red with a purple sheen.
Nose: Expressive and playful with fruity depth, black cherries, menthol, wisps of smoke, rosewood and a hint of glazed pecans.

Finish: Long lasting and complex with a smoky aftertaste, smoked candles, sweet grapes and elegant spice.
The Ardbeg Spectacular is an ideal dram for pure enjoyment - best served at room temperature. A few drops of water intensify the sweet, fruity and floral port notes and make the smoke profile stand out even more. Perfect for whisky lovers who appreciate the combination of innovation and tradition, as well as for collectors of limited Islay bottlings. (automated translation)
