ARDBEG SMOKIVERSE WHISKY SINGLE MALT SCOTCH 0.7L + BOX A SMOKY STORY FROM A DISTANT GALAXY

What is Ardbeg Smokiverse?

Ardbeg Smokiverse is a limited edition single malt whisky, created for Ardbeg Day 2025, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Ardbeg Committee community. This unique spirit represents an Ardbeg distillery experiment, introducing the innovative High Gravity Mashing technique, which involves increasing the ratio of grist to water during the mashing process. This results in a more concentrated wort with higher sugar content, enhancing the whisky's flavor profile.

Smokiverse offers a complex aromatic bouquet dominated by fruity and ester notes reminiscent of smoky bubble gum, complemented by scents of maturing barley and toasted sourdough bread. On the palate, the whisky reveals a rich, creamy taste with clear accents of sweet peat smoke, tropical fruits, and muscovado.

Ardbeg Smokiverse is not just an innovative take on whisky production but also a tribute to the tradition and passion of the Ardbeg Committee. It will be available to members of the community from May 28, 2025, offering a unique tasting experience that combines classic Ardbeg features with exciting new elements. The official premiere of this drink will take place on May 31, 2025, during the culmination of this year's Fèis Ìle.
