Ardbeg Distillery Arrrdbeg 103.6 Proof Committee Release Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml

After 13 years at the helm, our legendary Distillery Manager, Mickey Heads has set sail for horizons new. The captain of the good ship Ardbeg has retired. Mickeys leaving has been hard to fathom for all of the crew, but to commemorate the skipper and his service, weve created an extra-special bottle of grog – a treasure fit for the saltiest of seadogs. So to Mickey we say, yo-ho-ho and a bottle of Arrrrrrrdbeg! as we raise a toast and wish him good luck and Godspeed! Wholly matured in ex-rye casks, gunpowder, smoked banana and pear drift into vanilla and rye on the nose. A spicy mouthfeel hoists up and ignites a blunderbuss of fruity flavours. An armada of aniseed is tailed by smoked toffee and a distant hint of sourdough biscuits. The long finish lingers, with gentle smoke listing on the palate.
