Ardbeg Anamorphic (N/Acl, 48.20%)

Distilled in the rugged heart of Islay, the Ardbeg Anamorphic is a testament to the distillery’s mastery of experimental cask seasoning and high-char intensity. On the nose, this complex dram reveals layers of smoldering bonfire smoke intertwined with sweet heather and dark, earthy espresso. The palate is a bold transformation of textures, delivering a punch of crackling peat followed by deep, velvety notes of treacle toffee and charred oak that linger into a profound, spicy finish.
