The Ardbeg 2005 - Cask No. 5460, also known as the Supernova Cask, is a distinctive single malt whisky. Originating from a renowned Islay distillery, this expression features a cask strength of 56.8% Vol. Initially planned for the Ardbeg Supernova release, its unique attributes led it to be preserved as a standalone single cask release.
Distilled in late 2005, it was aged for 15 years in a 2nd fill Oloroso sherry butt, which contributes to its unique character. Only 595 individually numbered bottles were produced, each marked with its bottling date in March 2021. This was the first single cask release supervised by the distillery's new manager, Colin Gordon.
Significantly, this whisky was intended to be released during the Feis Ile 2021 festival, a key event for whisky enthusiasts, which was later cancelled. Despite the cancellation, the Ardbeg 2005 - Cask No. 5460 was released as planned.
In summary, the Ardbeg 2005 - Cask No. 5460 is a limited-edition single cask release with a distinctive profile and backstory. With its limited availability and unique characteristics, it offers an interesting point of discussion for whisky enthusiasts and collectors.
