The 8-year-old Ardbeg For Discussion was partly matured in former sherry casks and not chill-filtered. The Single Malt harbours mysterious notes of fennel and celery, which combine with wood smoke, in addition to a smoky intensity. On the back of the bottle label, there is a sympathetic instruction for the initiation ritual of the new Ardbeg Committee members. If you add a small drop of water when tasting, more herbal notes appear in the nose and on the palate.
