Ardbeg Supernova SN2015 Committee Release Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky 54.3% ABV - limited bottling and final release of a special Ardbeg Islay Single Malt!
The special Ardbeg Supernova SN 2015 Committee Exclusive Release Islay Single Malt is an exceptional whisky with a special history - in 2011, the Scotch whisky distillery sent samples with oak particles to the International Space Station (ISS) for the first time for a research project. To celebrate the scientific results now available, Ardbeg presents the fifth and final edition of the legendary Ardbeg Supernova, a golden single malt, but matured earthly and only available to Ardbeg Committee Exclusive members in the USA, UK, Sweden, Germany, France, Taiwan, Japan and Australia and bottled at cask strength 54.3% abv in a limited edition..
Instead of the usual Ardbeg malt with a phenol content of 55ppm (millionths of a part), the distillery based on the Scottish island of Islay used a peat-smoked malt with a galactic 100ppm.
The result is an exceptional and special Ardbeg Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky: on the nose, a peppery aroma with spicy herbs, followed by smoked fruits, seaweed and fennel. On the palate, a stellar explosion of spices, salted caramel and smoke, mixed with medicinal notes, black tar and chilli spiciness. The finish is extremely long and peppery.

- Nose: A shower of peppery, aromatic herbs shoots through the air, scattering particles of effervescent perfume. In its wake, smoked fruits, briny seaweed and fennel. The sensation comes full circle with the earthy, grounding aroma of vetiver root. Add a few drops of water and luscious linseed oil comes to the surface, sending wafts of sweet smoked toffee, brazil nuts and soot into the atmosphere.
- Palate: at 100ppm, the peat is firing on all cylinders, with blasts of spice, salted caramel and billowing smoke. And then it s back to the laboratory, where antiseptic lozenges, medicinal notes and zingy aniseed intermingle with dark tar and intense chilli-spice.
- Finish: Prepare for a long, lingering, peppery aftertaste that goes on and on and on...
