Ardbeg Supernova 2015 Committee Release.

The 4th release of the Supernova was exclusive to Ardbeg committee members and sold out in a matter of hours. The Supernovas are made with 100ppm malt, compared to the standard 55pm for the rest of Ardbeg whiskies, thus making this an even peatier powerhouse than normal. Rumour has it this is the final Supernova release. Bottled at 54.3%

Tasting Notes: Ardbeg Supernova 2015 Committee Release

Nose: Peppery and aromatic herbs scattered with effervescent perfume, followed by smoked fruits, briny, sweet smoked toffee, brazil nuts and soot.

Palate: The peat is firing on all cylinders, with spice, salted caramel and billowing smoke along with antiseptic lozenges, medicinal notes and zingy aniseed intermingle with dark tar and intense chilli-spice.

Finish: Prepare for a long, lingering, peppery aftertaste that goes on and on.
