This month, Ardbeg is ready to launch its smokiest whisky but, the Ardbeg Hypernova, an evolution of the favored Supernova collection.
The Islay Distillery’s latest expression takes Ardbeg’s signature smoke to a brand new degree with phenol ranges in extra of 170 ppm.
Colin Gordon, Ardbeg’s distillery supervisor, mentioned: “Hypernova activates the afterburners and hauls our spirit into smoky new depths. Extremely experimental, this whisky is peaty and intense, with a style that’s completely surreal. This spirit is not only a slice of Ardbeg historical past, it’s a as soon as in a lifetime occasion.”
Ardbeg’s director of distilling and whisky creation, Dr Invoice Lumsden, mentioned: “We wished to essentially push the boundaries this time and boldly go the place Ardbeg has by no means ventured earlier than. A hypernova is a collapsing star explosion so highly effective it threatens the material of the galaxy, whereas I don’t suppose this whisky will tear a gap in house and time, it’s actually bursting with peaty flavour.”
Obtainable solely to members of the Ardbeg Committee, Ardbeg Hypernova will likely be obtainable on-line and in Embassies from October 2022, at 51% abv and with an rrp of £190. There may also be a small variety of bottles to purchase in particular person on the distillery.
