Ardbeg Anamorphic Scotch Whisky is a limited-edition, committee-exclusive Islay single malt Scotch whisky. This innovative expression utilizes a unique "high mocha" cask charring process to create a multi-dimensional dram with smoky, sweet, herbal, and spicy notes.

Description

Ardbeg Anamorphic Scotch Whisky defies expectations, even for those familiar with Ardbeg’s signature smoky style. Here’s a breakdown of its intriguing taste profile:

Aroma

Earthy and dusty with a hint of biscuit. The signature Ardbeg smokiness is present but restrained, balanced by surprising notes of silky vanilla. Water unlocks a hidden world of aromas, with hints of smoked vetiver root, aniseed, fennel, and even floral notes like chrysanthemum and jasmine.

Palate

The initial taste is peppery and warming, leading into an explosion of fiery and spicy flavors. Think chili-infused chocolate, bitter-sweet mocha, smoky wood elements, and black pepper. Hints of smoked artichokes add another layer of intrigue.

Finish

The sooty and tarry notes build to a crescendo of rich, smoky flavors, leaving a lingering aftertaste of charcoal, bitter almonds, and molasses.
