The Ardbeg Kelpie Special Committee Only Edition is a single malt whisky released in 2017 by the iconic Islay distillery, Ardbeg. Exclusively available to members of the Ardbeg Committee, this special bottling boasts a robust ABV of 51.7%. The whisky was matured in virgin casks made from oak grown on the northeast coast of the Black Sea, imparting a unique and intense flavor profile. The Ardbeg Kelpie offers a peppery palate with a hint of spice, complemented by notes of sweet treacle toffee, vanilla popcorn, and a black olive aftertaste.
On the nose, the whisky reveals herbal aromas, followed by deeper notes of smoky fudge, hickory wood, seaweed, and smoked fish. These complex flavors reflect the journey of the casks from the Black Sea to the distillery, creating waves of flavor that are truly unforgettable. Founded in 1815, Ardbeg has a rich history of producing high-quality whisky. After a series of ownership changes and periods of closure, the distillery was revitalized in 1997 when it was acquired by Glenmorangie plc, now part of LVMH.
Overall, the Ardbeg Kelpie Special Committee Only Edition is a unique and exceptional whisky that will be cherished by connoisseurs and collectors alike.
