The hugely anticipated 2016 Ardbeg Committee bottling was released on "Ardbeg Day" and not surprisingly sold out very promptly.
The Dark Cove has been matured in dark sherry casks making it the "Darkest Ardbeg Ever" with this Committee edition being bottled at 55% ABV.
Please note as this is a vintage whisky, conditions of bottle/label and liquid level can vary.
At first spicy and earthy on the nose with notes of dark chocolate emerging against orange, delicious toffee and oak with a smoke lingering while the palate is almost tart. Raisins, dates, ginger and pepper spice with smouldering charcoal and wood polish.
The finish is long and spicy with similar notes fron the nose and palate such as notes of toffee, coffee and tar.
