Ardbeg – Dark Cove (70cl, 55.00%)

Ardbeg – Dark Cove is a single malt whisky from Ardbeg (Islay). Bottled at 55.00% ABV, 70cl. Matured in bourbon & sherry casks. The Ardbeg Committee release for 2016, this was matured in ex-bourbon casks with a heart matured in dark sherry casks. The style was inspired by the history of illicit distilling on the island of Islay in which many people were involved, including Allan and Alexander, the uncles of John McDougall, founder of Ardbeg distillery. As usual, a lower strength edition was launched to the public during Ardbeg Day/Night at the Fèis Ìle festival that year. A distillery located on the south coast of the Isle of Islay. It is currently part of the Scotch whisky holdings of LVMH. Despite being closed twice in the latter 20th century, the distillery's heavily-peated single malt has always been highly-regarded.
