This bottling is the new limited edition of the distillery, launched on the occasion of the famous ARDBEG DAY, which will take place on June 4th. Ardbeg Ardcore is nicknamed Punk Rock, a reference to the forgotten nickname Punk Ellen for the port of Islay and destined to connect to the punk past of the island. The character of this year’s festival should therefore be punk and offer appropriate live music. Aged in ex-bourbon casks, Ardcore is a real innovation in the world of single malts since it is based on the distillation of a black malt, and not on a maturation experience in cask. To arrive at a black malt (black malt), we will cook the cereal at a very high temperature so that the malt becomes roasted, a bit like a coffee or cocoa bean. Drying must therefore be closely monitored! If the temperature exceeds 250°C, the malt can turn into coal and catch fire.
