Ardbeg Smokiverse – Limited Edition
Ardbeg Day is the grand finale of the Fèis Ìle (the Islay Festival). This year, on 31st May, the Distillery invites fans on Islay
and around the world to enter the Ardbeg Smokiverse. Made using an experimental process called ‘high gravity mashing,’ intensified flavours and an almost cosmic density make this Ardbeg Day release truly out of this world.
PRODUCT INSPIRATION
At the heart of the Ardbeg Smokiverse lies the Distillery’s
mash tun. Responsible for converting our malted barley into fermentable sugars (mashing), all life at Ardbeg revolves around the tun. Now, we’re pushing its limits to explore new frontiers of flavour for Ardbeg. By experimenting with high gravity mashing, our whisky creators have used less water and packed in more grain than ever before, compressing every drop of liquid to amplify flavour-active acetate esters. This dense, unconventional mash has unlocked intense fruity and sweet notes from the depths of the tun.
ARDBEG DAY 2025 THEME
Ardbeg Day 2025 is a voyage into new realms of flavour. Fans worldwide are counting down to lift-off as we embark onan intergalactic adventure into the Ardbeg Smokiverse. A place where the gravitational pull of Ardbeg smoke collides with innovation and experimentation.
From rip-roaring tastings to cosmic celebrations,
this year’s event promises to be an unforgettable
sensory experience.
Ardbeg Smokiverse – Limited Edition
Region: Islay Whisky
Colour: Bright Gold
Nose: An explosion of fruity, estery notes, reminiscent of smoked bubblegum, fuse with whiffs of ripening barley and toasted sourdough bread. A splash of water reveals dense, sweet, and aromatic peat smoke, accompanied by gently smoked tropical fruits.
Taste: A rich, creamy mouthfeel drifts into sharp, sooty and spicy notes of creosote, aniseed, and clove. Tempered by the distinct sweetness of muscovado sugar, robust woody notes orbit rich charcoal.
Finish: Finally, in an almost infinite finish, earthy peat moss fuses with sizzling bonfire embers.
