Ardbeg 13 Year Old Fermutation Committee Release

Born from a fortunate accident at the historic Ardbeg Distillery on Islay, this 13 Year Old expression showcases the impact of an unusually extended fermentation process. Distilled in 2007 and bottled in 2022, ‘Fermutation’ offers Ardbeg’s signature intensely smoky character – think tarry peat and sooty notes – beautifully balanced by a bright citric sweetness. The prolonged fermentation lends a unique oily texture and depth to the palate, amplifying the distillery’s renowned complexity. This whisky represents a fascinating exploration of time and process, revealing a richer, more nuanced side of Ardbeg’s iconic Islay spirit.
