    Ardbeg Wee Beastie

    「小野獸」是雅柏有史以來最直接、煙燻氣味最濃的酒款,新鮮的黑胡椒以及濃郁的松脂香氣,充滿朱克力和焦油的爆炸性口感,令人相當有驚喜。「小野獸」只陳釀了5年的時間,屬於Ardbeg比較創新的做法。

    ARDBEG AN OA

    Ardbeg An Oa is a smoky, sweet and singularly rounded single malt. Whiskies from several cask types, including sweet PX, virgin charred oak and ex-bourbon casks, are married together in the distillery’s bespoke gathering room, resulting in a whisky of complex contrasts: all the power and intensity of Ardbeg wrapped in an alluring silkiness.

    ARDBEG UIGEADAIL

    Pronounced “Oog-a-dal”, it’s a special vatting that marries Ardbeg’s traditional deep, smoky notes with luscious, raisiny tones of old ex-Sherry casks. Its utter silky brilliance and complexity is on a level only a handful of distilleries in the world can even dream of reaching.

    ARDBEG CORRYVRECKAN

    Ardbeg Corryvreckan takes its name from the famous whirlpool that lies to the north of Islay, where only the bravest souls dare to venture. Swirling aromas and torrents of deep, peaty, peppery taste lurk beneath the surface of this beautifully balanced dram. Like the whirlpool itself, Corryvreckan is not for the faint-hearted!

    Awarded The World’s Best Single Malt in 2010.

    Ardbeg Wee Beastie

    ARDBEG TEN YEARS OLD

    *Ardbeg boasts a peat level of 50-60ppm, the highest level in the business (with the exception of a few limited releases which exceed 100ppm).

ARDBEG GEARS UP FOR A CELEBRATION AS THE DISTILLERY LAUNCHES ITS LATEST PUNK ROCK LIMITED EDITION – ARDCORE

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。」
