Ardbeg – Blasda (70cl, 40%)

Blasda is a lightly peated single malt from the Ardbeg distillery on the island of Islay, produced as a limited edition and sold in a 70cl bottle. It is bottled at 40%, an unusual strength for the distillery. That makes it softer and more accessible than Ardbeg's current bottlings, whose strengths tend to sit nearer 50%.
