Ardbeg Blaaack - Committee Release - 700 ml / 50.7 % Vol.

Ardbeg Blaaack - Committee Release

The Ardbeg Blaaack is a special edition released in 2020, marking the 20th anniversary of the Ardbeg Committee. This unique bottling represents a distinctive maturation journey, having been matured in Pinot Noir casks sourced from New Zealand. This choice of cask imbues a unique influence on the traditional Ardbeg profile, lending an unusual character to this release.

The Ardbeg Blaaack Committee Release serves as an exclusive celebration for the members of the Ardbeg Committee. This Committee, established in the year 2000, is an association of dedicated supporters of the distillery, and this release is made especially available to them. The bottling bears the name 'Blaaack', a whimsical play on the Pinot Noir wine casks used for maturation and a nod towards the imagery of Ardbeg standing as a "black sheep" among its counterparts.

This release signifies a first in Ardbeg's history as it incorporates the use of Pinot Noir casks from New Zealand for maturation. Thus, the Ardbeg Blaaack combines elements from two distant parts of the globe - the rugged, peat-laden landscape of Islay and the rich wine-growing region of New Zealand. This striking combination embodies the spirit of innovation and adventurousness, encapsulating the essence of Ardbeg's journey over the past two decades since the founding of the Ardbeg Committee. The release is bottled at an ABV of 50.7%.
