Ardbeg Spectacular is the special distillery bottling released for Fèis Ìle 2024. A first for Ardbeg, the single malt Scotch whisky was matured in Port wine casks before it was then married with classic bourbon barrels.
“This is a helter-skelter of flavours! Totally weird and absolutely spectacular. This is a freaky whisky!”- Dr Bill Lumsden, head of distilling & whisky creation for The Glenmorangie Company.

Perfumed and aromatic, with notes of lavender followed by leather, woodsmoke, mint and an almond nuttiness.
Full and oily with a salty menthol freshness and woodsmoke with sweeter notes of toffee, apple crumble and fudge.
Long and lingering with leather, salted caramel and that minty note persisting.
Best ever
As a lover of Port Pipe matured whisky I snapped this up. Sweet on the nose but very dry to taste. Improves slightly with a good splash of water but I don’t detect the complexity as described by the marketeers. Very disappointed. To my taste this is way overpriced. Some you win, some you lose.
