Release Timeline:

Ardbeg 8yo "For Discussion" (Committee Release): Launched in March 2021 as an exclusive, high-strength experiment to provoke debate among members about the vibrant potential of youthful peated spirit.

Ardbeg Ardcore (Committee Release): Released in May 2022 for Ardbeg Day, dialed up to a punchy 50.1% ABV and famously distilled using heavily roasted black malt. Ardbeg Hypernova (Committee Release): Debuted in October 2022, marking the absolute historical peak of Ardbeg’s peat levels, clocking in at an unprecedented 170+ ppm.

Bottle Details:

- Ardbeg Hypernova (Committee Release) ABV: 51.0% vol. Volume: 70 cl / 700 ml Features: The most heavily peated expression ever unleashed by the distillery (170+ ppm). A dimension beyond all standard releases, packing a massive, cosmic punch of tarry smoke, ozone, and medicinal intensity. A true holy grail of modern Islay history. Packaging: As originally issued by the distillery without an outer carton.

-. Ardbeg Ardcore (Committee Release) ABV: 50.1% vol. (Higher strength than the 46% general release) Volume: 70 cl / 700 ml Features: A punk-rock tribute distilled from a unique mash bill featuring heavily roasted Black Malt (typically used for brewing dark stouts). This creates a fierce, charcoal-forward, and bittersweet spine that redefines the classic Ardbeg character. Packaging: Original Committee Release box included in mint condition.

- Ardbeg 8 Years Old "For Discussion" (Committee Release) ABV: 50.8% vol. Volume: 70 cl / 700 ml Features: A deliberately challenging, intensely smoky, and beautifully oily 8-year-old single malt.

Tasting Notes:

Ardbeg Hypernova: Volcanic peat smoke roars out of the glass with intense creosote, soot, and tar. The palate is a beautifully caustic explosion of black pepper, aniseed, bitter cocoa, and a clean, refreshing minty undertone.

Ardbeg Ardcore (Committee Release): Punchy aromas of burnt toast, marmite, and dark coffee grounds layered over sweet campfire smoke. The palate is rich and oily, dropping heavy notes of dark chocolate, peanut brittle, soot, and amped-up savory aniseed.

Ardbeg 8yo "For Discussion": Intense charcoal, woodsmoke, and creosote balanced elegantly by fresh fennel, green pepper, and celery. The mouthfeel is thick and peppery, revealing salted caramel chocolate, eucalyptus, and a long, lingering peppermint finish.
