Ardbeg Arrrrrrrdbeg Ex-Rye Cask 51.8% 700ml information

Ardbeg Arrrrrrrdbeg Ex-Rye Cask is a limited-edition single malt whisky released to commemorate the retirement of Mickey Heads, the Distillery Manager and Committee Chair at Ardbeg. This special edition whisky has been fully matured in ex-rye casks, adding a unique flavor profile to the renowned smoky Ardbeg whisky.

Mickey Heads served as the Distillery Manager for 13 years, and his departure has been marked by the release of this exclusive bottle of Ardbeg. The Arrrrrrrdbeg expression is a fitting tribute to his service, with its distinctive character and rich, peaty flavor profile.

Ardbeg Distillery, founded in 1815, is one of Islay's most iconic distilleries, known for producing heavily peated whiskies. The distillery was purchased by Diageo forerunners DCL and Hiram Walker in 1973, and later by Allied Lyons in 1987. Ardbeg was mothballed for most of the 1980s and early 1990s, but its fortunes turned when it was bought by Glenmorangie plc (now part of LVMH) in 1997.

The Arrrrrrrdbeg Ex-Rye Cask whisky offers a delightful aroma, with smoky notes of banana, pear, rye bread, lemon, and vanilla toffee. On the palate, it delivers spicy pepper, melon, kiwi, aniseed, and smoked toffee, all underpinned by a bed of savory peat smoke. This whisky is a true treasure for any whisky enthusiast and a fitting tribute to Mickey Heads' service at Ardbeg.

Reviewer's opinion

Ardbeg Arrrrrrrdbeg Ex-Rye Cask is an intriguing departure from the traditional Ardbeg profile. While the rye cask influence may not be immediately recognizable, the whisky's complexity and unique character make it a worthwhile addition to any collection. The creaminess and fruity notes, paired with the signature peat smoke, create a harmonious and enjoyable experience. Although the finish could be longer, the overall presentation is commendable, making this limited edition a fitting tribute to Mickey Heads' tenure at Ardbeg.
