The 120,000 members strong Ardbeg Committee is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, and the distillery honored it with an exceptional release.
The peated delicacy is the first one from this Islay distiller to be matured in Pinot Noir casks from New Zealand, which brings lovely red fruit aromas. The Whisky is smooth and dangerously easy to drink. And yes, there are three a’s in the name because it celebrates the black sheep members. Pretty raaad.
