Ardbeg Supernova 2015 (SN2015) - Committee Release 70cl Whisky

Ardbeg, in case you didn't know, sent some maturing spirit into space. Or, more accurately, tubes of "Ardbeg-crafted molecules" that also contained sticks of charred oak. The idea was to compare their interactions to those of control samples on earth.

To celebrate the conclusion of Ardbeg’s experiment in space, it released this final Committee release of the super-duper-peated Supernova single malt. At 100PPM (phenolic content measured in parts per million) compared to Ardbeg's usual 55PPM, this was one of the most heavily-peated whiskies in the world back when it was released.

This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
