ARDBEG ARDCORE LTD ED SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY 700ML BOXED

Notes of charcoal and sweet smoke make for an in-your-face nose, while potent notes of aniseed and dark chocolate stamp this bottle out as one fit only for the most Ardcore of fans.

Ardcore is a dram that wears its heart on its sleeve… its black heart! Another Ardbeg Day release arrives, bottled once and never to be repeated - a collectors dream! Created with roasted black malt - a first for Ardbeg and roasted to the extreme. The malt is what defines its distinctive profile contributing charcoal and sweet smoke, aniseed and dark chocolate for an in-your-face Islay experience.

Ardbeg's marketing department has gone all out and in your face, this time focusing on the brand's alleged punk past, with Islay's main port, Port Ellen, going by the nickname ‘Punk Ellen' in the 1970s. Ardbeg's head of distilling and whisky creation, Dr. Bill Lumsden, describes the flavour being like biting on a spiky ball.” 

Non chill-filtered at 46% ABV.
