Overview

Ardbeg has moved to a single special release this year dropping the committee release and general release format. The 2024 Ardbeg Day bottling is "Spectacular." From Ardbeg: Behold a marvel of maturation! Introducing this year's limited edition release, Ardbeg Spectacular. We present to you a spectacle of showstopping flavors - a whisky that exhibits all manner of peculiar notes and aromas. For the first time in Ardbeg's history, this malt has been matured in rare port wine casks, then married with classic bourbon barrels. Darker in nature, the port wine barrels bring a devilishly sweet side to this classically smoky Ardbeg.

Tasting notes

Years in ex-bourbon and port wine casks have imparted a mesmerising array of bizarre notes. Fragrant lavender, vetiver and incense candles tumble into rich almond nuttiness.

Deeper notes such as damp peat and woodsmoke introduce a daring double act of creosote and tar, before leather and minty chocolate leap across to sweet pear crumble and salted caramel fudge.
