Ardbeg Blaaack Committee Exclusive

Ardbeg Blaaack Committee Exclusive celebrates 20 years of the Ardbeg Committee in true “black sheep” style. For the first time, Ardbeg has matured whisky in ex–Pinot Noir casks from New Zealand, creating a bold fusion of smoky Islay character and rich wine influence. Expect aromas of baked summer fruit pudding, cedar, smoky jam tarts, and truffles. The velvety palate layers aniseed, soot, summer fruits, pastry, dark chocolate, and bitter cherry, leading to a long, sooty finish. Bottled at natural cask strength. Bottled at 50.7%ABV
