Ardbeg Ardcore Committee Release

This Ardbeg Ardcore Committee Release is the 2022 Ardbeg Day release.

Created with roasted black malt, roasted to the extreme, this spirit is all about what happens up front – centre stage.

The malt is what defines its distinctive profile. Described as tasting like “biting on a spiky ball”, Ardcore is a dram that wears its heart on its sleeve.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Spicy and savoury, Ardcore grips the senses with waves of marmite, burnt toast, chicory charcoal and infused coffee grounds

Palate: jaw dropping spicy and fiery mouthfeel leads to an explosion of rich, smoky flavours cocoa powder, dark chocolate, peanut brittle toffee, smoked lime and a suggestion of soot and bonfire embers.

Finish: sweeter finish, long, lingering notes of treacle toffee, soot and smoke make for an anarchic, but delicious, aftertaste.
