Following in the footsteps of the previous Supernova release, this is as peaty as Ardbeg gets.

Sold exclusively to members of the Ardbeg Committee via Ardbeg Embassies worldwide, as you can imagine it was not available for long...

This release celebrates the return to earth of the 'Ardbeg Space Experiment'.

Nose: Intense zestiness of smoked lemons and pears, lemongrass and pine needles, embedded in a deep, resinuous, sticky waxy base.

Palate: Distinctively peppery, spicy and electric. Powerful peppermint, antiseptic lozenges and other familiar, medicinal tones. Dark, dark birch tar intermingles with spicy-sweet chilli flavoured chocolate, while the entire mouth and palate are coated in luscious linseed oil.

Finish: Rich flavours of tar, creosote, briar wood, spicy tobacco and liquorice root.
