From Ardbeg, a distillery with more ups and downs than a pogoing punk, comes Ardcore. Created with roasted black malt – an unconventional choice, and a first for Ardbeg – this spirit is all about what happens up front, centerstage. Incinerated to hair-raising levels, the malt is what defines its distinctive profile. Described by Dr. Bill Lumsden as tasting ‘like biting on a spiky ball', this devilishly delicious dram is one for the ages. Notes of charcoal and sweet smoke make for an in-your-face nose, while potent notes of aniseed and dark chocolate stamp this bottle out as one fit only for the most Ardcore of fans.
