Ardbeg Smokiverse
$154.99
The Ardbeg Committee celebrates its 25th Anniversary this year, with the release of Ardbeg Smokiverse. This Ardbeg Day bottling has been bottled at 48.3% from a batch of spirit produced from a high gravity mash. According to Ardbeg "This process unlocks a fruitier, more intense Ardbeg. Layers of muscovado sugar, ripe barley, and toasted sourdough bread, culminate in a burst of ripe tropical fruits and sweet peat." Limit 2 Per Customer!
Producer Description
"As we celebrate 25 years of the Ardbeg Committee in 2025, we venture further into space once more… Behold the immense magnetism of Ardbeg’s mash tun. Responsible for converting our malted barley into fermentable sugars (mashing), all life at Ardbeg revolves around the tun. This time, however, it has become a force to be reckoned with, as we concentrate its power to materialise a new frontier of flavour for Ardbeg.
"Experimenting with a process called ‘high gravity mashing’, our intrepid whisky creators vastly decreased the amount of water in the mash tun, then packed more grain into the mix than ever before. Crushing and compressing every drop of liquid, this unconventional mash has magnified the intensity of flavour-active acetate esters. Ramping up the density of wort to astronomical levels, we’ve drawn in fruitier, sweeter flavours from the deepest corners of the mash tun."

Producer Description
"Inspired by Islay’s Traigh Bhan beach, this impossibly balanced and incredibly rare 19-year-old permanent Ardbeg is created in limited batches released annually each year since 2019. Aged in bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks, each hand-selected batch reveals subtle variations in flavour for Ardbeggians to explore.

Ardbeg Ten Cask Strength Producer Description
"Introducing… the Committee’s most wanted!
"For over a quarter of a century, the famous Ardbeg Committee has sipped it, savoured it, and sworn by it - the iconic Ardbeg Ten Years Old. But the whisky on everybody’s lips? The very same… at Cask Strength.
"The most talked-about release in the Distillery’s modern memory, finally bottled at your impassioned request. Drawn straight from American oak bourbon barrels, Ten’s revered peaty paradox is pronounced, with rich aromas of smoke and sea spray giving way to a smooth, natural sweetness. Non-chill filtered at 61.7%."
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."
Ardbeg Vintage Y2K 24 Year
$1,099.99
This 24 year old, 2000 vintage Ardbeg was matured in ex-Bourbon & Sherry casks before finishing in Amontillado sherry. 47.8%
Producer Description
"This ultra-rare whisky is the first in a highly limited collectors’ series created from the spirit of this milestone Ardbeggian year. In 2000, the Distillery returned to glory after decades of neglect and the loyal Ardbeg Committee was formed.
Aged in the finest bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks around, this smoky anomaly is intensely sweet and classically peaty. Aromas of lemon balsam reminisce with linseed oil and heather honey, while soot and peppermint stir up memories of ground coffee and aniseed on the palate."
