Ardbeg Smokiverse

Description

Ardbeg Smokiverse features High Gravity Mashing, a technique that intensifies fermentation by using more grain and less water, resulting in a whisky with a more pronounced fruitiness. The nose opens with smoked bubblegum, barley and toasted sourdough. On the palate, expect a rich blend of muscovado sugar, creosote, tropical fruits, aniseed and clove.

Tasting Notes:

Aroma: 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.
