DESCRIPTION
Ardbeg präsentiert einen neuen 13-jährigen Single Malt, der aus der Not geboren wurde, wie die aktuelle Pressemitteilung erklärt: Ardbeg Fermutation. Als die Whisky-Produktion im November 2007 wegen eines Kesselschadens zum Stillstand kam, musste die Würze viel länger als üblich in den Wash Backs bleiben. Und wenn man schon experimentieren muss, dann richtig, sagte Dr. Bill Lumsden, Ardbegs Director of Distilling and Whisky Creation, und ließ die Deckel der Washbacks öffnen.

Die Gärung dauerte 3 Wochen statt der üblichen 72 Stunden, neben der Hefe konnten nun auch wilde Bakterien aus der Luft ihr Werk verrichten. Nach 13 Jahren Reifung in Ex-Bourbon-Fässern wurde der Ardbeg Fermutation nun mit einer Alkoholstärke von 49,4% ABV abgefüllt.

TASTING NOTES
Nose Frisch, blumig, krautig und kräftig. Anklänge von gemischten Kräutern und Zedernholz. Sehr spritzig, lebendig, mit Noten von geräucherter Orange und Grapefruit, viel Menthol und Pfefferminz. Mit ein wenig Wasser kräftige Wellen von Dieselöl, Teer, frisch gestrichener Farbe und Anis. Der Abgang ist frisch gemähtes Heu mit einem winzigen Hauch von etwas Pikantem, wie Hefeextrakt oder Brotteig.
Palate Eine lebendige, vibrierende, "spritzige" Textur, die in sehr kräftigen, ausgeprägten Aromen gipfelt - malzige Töne von Biskuit, kräftiger Anis, Kardamom, antiseptische Lutschtabletten, süßes Minz-Toffee und Zigarrenasche.
Finish Lang anhaltender, salziger, kräftiger Abgang mit Minze, Teer, Eichengerbstoff und Leder.

  • Ardbeg - Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

    Perched on the rugged southern coast of Islay, part of Scotland's Inner Hebrides, Ardbeg Distillery is a name revered in the world of Scotch whisky. Established in 1798 and entering commercial whisky production in 1815, Ardbeg boasts a rich history intertwined with the very essence of Islay whisky-making.

    Ardbeg is celebrated for its intensely peated Islay whisky, a style defined by the use of malted barley from the Port Ellen maltings. This distinct peat character, combined with traditional distillation methods, results in a whisky that is both deeply complex and unmistakably Islay. Now under the stewardship of luxury conglomerate Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy, Ardbeg continues to uphold its legacy while embracing innovation.

    The distillery has earned global acclaim with its award-winning expressions. The Ardbeg Ten Years Old, for instance, was named World Whisky of the Year and Scotch Single Malt of the Year in Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2008. Ardbeg Uigeadail continued this trend, receiving the same accolades in 2009 and 2010. Such recognition cements Ardbeg's status as a producer of exceptional Scotch.

    Ardbeg's pioneering spirit extends beyond traditional whisky-making. In 2011, the distillery sent 20 vials of Ardbeg spirit and wood particles to the International Space Station, showcasing its commitment to innovation. Despite its international fame, Ardbeg remains deeply rooted in its local community, employing around sixty staff members who reside locally.

    Operating with two pot stills, Ardbeg produces approximately 10,000 casks (1.4 million liters) of spirit annually. The name 'Ardbeg,' derived from the Scottish Gaelic 'An Àird Bheag,' meaning 'The small headland,' is not just a name but a testament to the distillery's connection to the land and community.

    Ardbeg's unique geographical location, rich history, award-winning bottlings, and innovative spirit make it a standout name in the world of Scotch whisky, offering a taste experience that is as profound as its heritage.
