Ardbeg Supernova - Advance Committee Release
The first ever Ardbeg Supernova, and Ardbeg's initial go at producing super peaty whisky! This was created specially for the Ardbeg Committee, and when we first tasted it we couldn't believe how fantastic it was; like a huge explosion of smoked chilli heat! Unlike other super peaty whiskies (which shall remain nameless), this actually has a fabulous flavour as well as insane phenol levels!
These bottles were part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Peaty and spicy, this is pungent with tar, pipe tobacco, smoked paprika, hints of parma ham, chili, burning turmeric, toffee apple sweetness, citrus and malt.
Palate
Massive, this is just a crescendo of intense, fiery peat, like biting into a chipotle chilli, with a-whole-nother dimension of sweetness and fruit too. Fabulous stuff, with hints of top quality mezcal, apples, lime juice and lemon curd.
Finish
Coal tar, citrus, salty butter, sticking plasters, cocoa and big, warming peat that tingles the tongue for minutes.
