It is said that the merest whiff of classic Ardbeg transports you to another time and place. However, the aroma of this formidable smoky malt takes you to another dimension altogether. For it answers the improbable question: how would Ardbeg be without the pivotal influence of its legendary purifier?  You’re about to find out. For this dram is the most full-blown Ardbeg ever. Take a deep breath, then a sip. And follow Agent 46 into the ARDverse.

TASTING NOTES

PUNGENT. Earthiness fills the lungs. AROMATIC clouds of DARKEST CHOCOLATE and SHARP PEPPERMINT ascend. ANISEED and POWDERY CINNAMON billow, while the tang of MENTHOL lingers. With the PURIFIER gone, WHO will RESTORE the BALANCE?
