Ardbeg – 8 Year Old For Discussion Committee Release (70cl, 50.8%)

This is Ardbeg 8 Years Old, the For Discussion release made for Ardbeg Committee members. It is bottled at 50.8% from ex-sherry casks, in a 70cl bottle. Ardbeg describes it as big, youthful and deliberately challenging, and expects it to provoke discussion among its smoke-loving members. The notes are of unmistakeable smoky intensity, with charcoal, creosote and woodsmoke, and curious hints of fennel and celery.
