Ardbeg Dolce
$174.99
The 2026 Ardbeg Day release is Dolce, inspired by 'La Dolce Vita', the whisky was matured in a mix of Marsala and ex-Bourbon casks before bottling at 47.8%.
Producer Description
"Sicily, the land of headscarves, scooters and long walks along the beach, drenched in sun. Islay, the land of headscarves, tractors and long walks along the beach, just drenched.
"Matured in 'dolce' (sweet) Marsala fortified wine casks, Ardbeg Dolce unites dry, sweet Sicilian heat with the classic, intense smoke of Ardbeg bourbon barrels. Inspired by the slow, soulful pace of life in Sicily and the glamourous allure of 1960s cinema, this is a whisky that takes all the elegance and charm of the Mediterranean, and fuses it with the rugged, windswept spirit of Islay."
Ardbeg An Oa
$107.99
"An Oa" is named for Islay's wild Mull of Oa on the south-west coast. The prominent headland offers the Kildalton coast a bit of shelter from the tempestuous North Atlantic. The area was in centuries past the scene of much illicit distilling. The whisky is the first new core release in the Ardbeg range for close to a decade. Crafted to offer a more approachable take on Ardbeg whisky, the spirit was matured in a mix of PX Sherry, Virgin Oak and Ex-Bourbon casks. The mix was then rested in the distillery's new Gathering Vat'.
46.6% ABV
Producer Description
"A welcome new addition to the Ultimate range. Ardbeg An Oa is singularly rounded, due in no small part to time spent in our newly established bespoke oak Gathering Vat where whiskies from several cask types - including; sweet Pedro Ximenez; spicy virgin charred oak; and intense ex-bourbon casks, amongst others - familiarise themselves with each other. The result is a dram with smoky power, mellowed by a delectable, smooth sweetness. Hallmark Ardbeg peat,dark chocolate and aniseed are wrapped in smooth, silky butterscotch, black pepper and clove, before rising to an intense crescendo of flavour."
Ardbeg Traigh Bhan 19 Year Batch 6
$389.99
Batch 6 of the Ardbeg Traigh Bhan 19 Year is rumoured to be the second last in the series. It was matured in ex-Bourbon and Sherry casks before bottling at 46.2%. 88pts Whisky Base
Producer Description
"Like its award-winning predecessors, Batch 6 is aged in bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks. However, with more refill bourbon casks in its recipe, this bottling invites more of Ardbeg’s bold spirit character to surge forth. Traigh Bhan’s trademark delicate balance meets ripples of olive oil and newly mown lawn grass, with classic Ardbeggian waves of tarry rope, peppermint, dark chocolate, soot and fennel."
Smokehead Sherry Bomb Islay Single Malt
$114.99
Bottled at 48% after finishing (presumably) in "Spanish Sherry casks," the whisky is rumoured to hail from the Ardbeg Distillery; but we can't really be sure!
Smokehead Terminado Islay Single Malt
$105.99
The latest Smokehead line extension is Terminado, a Tequila cask finished Islay single malt, reputedly from Ardbeg, bottled at 43%.
Producer Description
"Terminado brings together Smokehead Islay single malt with tequila. It’s the meeting of two restless spirits – and the awakening of a mesmerising whisky. There, in this tequila cask finish, fiery peat awakes with wild agave. Smoke mixes with chewy meringue. And citrus spins with sweetness. You ain’t tasted nothing like this before."
