About Ardbeg Ardcore Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Each year, Ardbeg joins the Fèis Ìle festivites, where the entire island of Islay erupts in the ultimate whisky festival. With over 120,000 global members, the Ardbeg Committee serves the common purpose of celebrating Ardbeg whisky through a series of limited-edition whisky releases such as the Ardcore, available as a standard 92-proof release, and a Committee-exclusive that's bottled at 100.2 proof. Released in 2022, the whisky was distilled from a mash bill of 75% distilling malt (light- to medium-peated malt instead of Ardbeg's super-heavily peated malt) and 25% black malt, marking the first time that the letter was used in the production of Ardbeg whisky. The heavily roasted malt makes for an expression that was compared by Ardbeg's Dr. Bill Lumsden to "biting on a spiky ball." The whisky was matured in a combination of first-fill and refill bourbon casks.Grab your bottle of this unique Ardbed single malt today!
About Ardbeg
The southernmost of the Inner Hebridean Scottish Isles, the island of Islay (pronounced EYE-lah) is only 240 square miles and home to just over 3,000 inhabitants. Still, the island is one of just five distilling regions in Scotland whose identity is protected by law.Ardbeg Distillery, which is situated on the southern coast of Islay, was founded in 1815 by the MacDougall family. By 1886, nearly one-third of the population of Islay worked at the distillery and today, it stands as a testament to Scottish heritage and tradition.
About Scotch
Scotch is the most popular whisky in the world and is considered the king of them all! There are five whisky regions in Scotland (six if you count the not officially recognized Islands), and each of them produces spirits with unique properties and distinct tasting notes. (The type of grain used determents the type of the scotch.)
Malt whisky is made of malted barley, and grain whisky uses other grains like corn or wheat. Most of the time, a whisky is blended from different distilleries hence the name blended scotch, but if a malt whisky is produced in a single distillery, we get something extraordinary called a single malt.
