Ardbeg Blaaack (No Box)
**SELLING ON A BEHALF OF A PRIVATE CLIENT**
Ardbeg Blaaack is the feisty Limited Edition bottled in celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the Ardbeg Committee, founded in the year 2000.
To mark such a momentous occasion, the Distillery vowed that the casks used to honour their global flock would be right on the nose. For the first time in Ardbeg’s history, we rounded up Pinot Noir casks from the country that lies the furthest distance from Islay – New Zealand, that other remote island nation where sheep have been known to outnumber the locals by 7:1.
Ardbeg Blaaack knits together velvety summer fruit pudding and bitter cherry, with a deeper edge of soot and Ardbeg’s hallmark smoke.
Perfect for toasting our legendary Committee.
ABV 46%
Ardbeg Blaaack
Region: Islay Whisky
Nose: You can really smell the cask influence. The first thing that comes off are dark cherries with some peachy notes underneath followed by classic Ardbeg aromas of smoked meat and old fireplaces. A splash of water brings out cedar and some volcanic notes.
Palate: Fiery and spicy initially, then those cherries again with limes lurking underneath with wood smoke underlying it all.
Finish: Lick of dark chocolate, single espresso and wafts and wafts of wood smoke.
