Ardbeg Arrrrrrrdbeg End of an Era Committee Release 2020 - 51.8% 70cl

A bottling in honour of the legendary Distillery Manager and Committee Chairman Mickey who is departing after a great 13 years.

Captain of the good ship, he is now retiring and so this special bottle has been created to commemorate his service.

A special treasure indeed fit for the saltiest of seadogs. 

This release really is the end of an era. The dram within has been matured in solely ex rye casks. 

Nose: Aromas of smoked banana and pears drift to some rye bread, sweet vanilla toffee and a gentle anise breeze. 

Palate: Lots of flavours. A blunderbuss ignites fruity aromas such as melons and kiwis. An armada of anise appears, accompanied by smoked toffee and a hint of sweet sourdough rolls.

Finish: A long finish leaves a salty spray with Brazil nuts and gentle smoke aromas that linger on the palate for a long time.
