Ardbeg – Grooves (Committee Release)

Hailing from the rugged shores of Islay, this exclusive Ardbeg Grooves Committee Release is matured in wine casks that have been intensely charred to create deep, textural grooves in the wood. This unique process imparts a complex profile, opening with aromatic notes of smoked spices and distant bonfires, followed by sweet hints of vanilla popcorn and smoky soot. On the palate, the experience settles into a mellow, harmonious haze of crisp apples, delicate fresh flowers, and succulent smoked pear.
