Ardbeg Kelpie - Committee Release

The Ardbeg Kelpie Committee Release, introduced in 2017, represents an innovation in maturation techniques within the whisky industry. This special edition's distinguishing feature is its maturation process in virgin oak casks, harvested from the Adyghe Republic, a region bordering the Black Sea. These exclusive casks have a profound influence on the whisky's flavour, offering a unique twist on the classic Islay spirit. Furthermore, the Committee Release was initially introduced to the members of the Ardbeg Committee during the 2017 Islay Festival.
