Description
One of the distillery’s Committee Releases, Ardbeg Fermutation is a bright and zesty expression that is bound to impress. Ardbeg Fermutation is a result of a mishap at the distillery – the boiler stopped working and as a result distillation couldn’t occur after the usual 72 hour fermentation process. Instead, the wash was distilled after a three week fermentation. Free from chill filtration, this 13-year-old dram was matured in first fill and refill bourbon casks and was bottled at 49.4% abv.
The result? A bold and vibrant whisky. Zingy aromas of peppermint and garden herbs come to meet the nose. The palate is malty, with sweet hints of butterscotch complementing the persisting minty notes before leading into the satisfying finish.
