Ardbeg Auriverdes Single Malt Scotch Whisky was released on Ardbeg Day 2014 (May 31, 2014). The term "Auriverdes"is derived from the Portuguese word "auri,"meaning gold, and "verde,"meaning green. The name of the whisky not only commemorates Ardbeg Distillery (the distillery's signature colors are gold and green), but also the 2014 World Cup, which was hosted in Brazil (the Brazilian flag is gold and green.).
Tasting Notes,
Nose: Peat and s’mores . Followed-up by some smoked meat, vanilla frosting, leather and a light bit of toasted nuts floating on an iodine and cherry compote undertone.
Palate: This thing is meaty. Peat and spicy charcuterie pair up with dark chocolate, honey and a malty sweetness. Paired against a lightly wooded background and light notes of grape skins and vanilla it’s a great companion to the aroma.
Finish: Long, peaty and meaty with light sweet and woody notes.
