ARDBEG GROOVES COMMITTEE RELEASE ISLAY SINGLE MALT
ARDBEG GROOVES COMMITTEE RELEASE
Located on the island’s rugged south coast, Ardbeg distillery represents the peatier end of the Islay spectrum. While it has endured some tough times, spending several years mothballed, the distillery has undergone a bit of a renaissance since being bought over by Glenmorangie and is now on a stable footing.
While it still retains its signature sooty spirit, Ardbeg has also adopted its new parent company’s fondness for experimental cask finishes, arguably increasing its appeal.
The Grooves takes its name from the heavily charred wine casks used to age it. The charring was done in such a way as to create grooves inside the casks, increasing the surface area for the spirit to interact with.
