ARDBEG GEARS UP FOR A CELEBRATION AS THE DISTILLERY LAUNCHES ITS LATEST PUNK ROCK LIMITED EDITION – ARDCORE
Never mind the barrels, it’s all about the black malt! Ardbeg invites its worldwide fandom to join them for their global Ardbeg Day 2022 celebrations.
經歷過高低起跌的 Ardbeg 酒廠不斷推陳出新,首次以烘烤黑麥芽釀製威士忌,味道層次進一步提昇。Bill Lumsden 博士品評新作為「口感尖銳,宛如咬上尖刺」,辛辣的口感更適合成熟口味。
Ardcore 的搖滾靈感受 Ardbeg 酒廠擁躉不顧一切的熱情所啟發,也融入艾雷島名不經傳的龐克歷史——艾雷島的主要港口 Port Ellen 於 1970 年代曾被戲稱為「PUNK ELLEN」。
Ardbeg 酒廠的釀酒師 Colin Gordon 表示:「今年是我參與的首個實體 Ardbeg Day。我們知道不是每個人都能親身到艾雷島參與慶典,因此我們安排了網上直播,希望所有威士忌愛好者無論在現場抑或家中,都能在 6 月 4 日當日盡情享受、盡情狂歡!」
Ardbeg 酒廠的首席威士忌蒸餾及調酒師 Bill Lumsden 博士形容 Ardcore 為「將『黑心』表露無遺」的一款烈酒。「以烘烤至近乎碳化程度的黑麥芽釀製,木炭的香氣滲出焦糖氣息,八角和黑朱古力的味道衝擊味蕾,必定會吸引一班 Ardbeg 酒廠的忠實擁躉。」

From Ardbeg, a Distillery with more ups and downs that a pogoing punk, comes Ardcore. Created with roasted black malt – an unconventional choice, and a first for Ardbeg – this spirit is all about what happens up front, centre-stage. Incinerated to hair-raising levels, the malt is what defines its distinctive profile. Described by Dr Bill Lumsden as tasting ‘like biting on a spiky ball’, this devilishly delicious dram is one for the ages.
Inspired by the devil-may-care attitude of Ardbeg’s fans, this dram is bottled for them. Ardcore also draws inspiration from Islay’s little-known punk past, celebrating the characters of ‘PUNK ELLEN’ – the alleged nickname for Islay’s main port, Port Ellen, in the 1970s.
Colin Gordon, Ardbeg’s Distillery Manager, said: “This year will be my first physical Ardbeg Day. We know not everybody can make it to Islay, so we’re delighted to be broadcasting all the day’s antics online too. Whether at the Distillery or at home, we hope lots of you rock up, punked out and ready to party come 4th June!”
Ardbeg’s Head of Distilling and Whisky Creation, Dr Bill Lumsden, said: “Ardcore is a dram that wears its heart on its sleeve – its black heart! Created with roasted black malt, burnt to hair-raising levels, this spirit is all about substance. Notes of charcoal and sweet smoke make for an in-your-face nose, while potent notes of aniseed and dark chocolate stamp this bottle out as one fit only for the most Ardcore of fans.”
