Ardbeg Hypernova The Ultimate Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Established in 1815, Ardbeg is revered by connoisseurs around the world as among the peatiest and smokiest, yet most complex, of all the Islay malts. Despite its smokiness, it is renowned for its delicious sweetness, a phenomenon that has affectionately become known as the peaty paradox. Ardbegs home is the small, remote Scottish Isle of Islay (pronounced eye-lah). Known as the Queen of the Hebrides, Islay has an abundance of soft water, fertile soil and acres of precious peat making it a prolific producer of distinctive, world-famous single malts. The Ardbeg Distillery perches by a rocky cove on the islands wild and untamed southern coast. This is a land steeped in history. Celtic monks, raiding Norsemen, the Lords of the Isles, 19th century smugglerstheyve all played their part in Ardbegs story. Islays dramatic past lives in the Ardbeg brand to this day. Ardbegs knotwork and famous A derive from our Celtic heritage, as seen in the 8th century Kildalton Cross which stands a few miles north of the Distillery. Ardbeg doesnt behave like other whiskies predictable or safe. Never has. Never will. Unorthodox and authentic to the core, its rooted in our island home and its people. Yet never stuck in the past. Ardbeg has been called as close to perfection as makes no difference.* Proof then that it deserves its reputation as The Ultimate Islay Single Malt Whisky. *Jim Murray The Complete Book of Whisky
