ARDBEG SUPERNOVA COMMITTEE RELEASE SN2015 54.3% ISLAY SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY (SPECIAL ORDER 1 WEEK)

The 2015 committee release of Ardbeg Supernova. The first edition was the peatiest Ardbeg ever and this new release treads the same path. A big whack of smoke with a terrific backbone of fruit and sweetness. Ardbeg, in case you didn't know, sent some maturing spirit into space. Or, more accurately, tubes of "Ardbeg-crafted molecules" that also contained sticks of charred oak. The idea was to compare their interactions to those of control samples on earth and the results have now been published. To celebrate the conclusion of Ardbeg’s experiment in space, they released this final Committee release of the super-duper-peated Supernova single malt. At 100PPM (phenolic content measured in parts per million) compared to Ardbeg's usual 55PPM, this is one of the most heavily-peated whiskies in the world!
