Marking Ardbeg Day at Fèis Ìle 2018, the Ardbeg Grooves – Committee Release puts a bohemian twist on classic Islay peat. In this limited-edition bottling, Ardbeg’s powerfully smoky spirit undergoes double maturation in intensely re-toasted red-wine casks—their deep char etched with “grooves” that concentrate flavour. The result is a whisky that fuses camp-fire smoke with vibrant jammy fruit in true festival style.

Why We Think You’ll Love It:

  • A festival-only Committee Release created for Ardbeg Day 2018—collectible and characterful.

  • Re-toasted red-wine casks carve deep “grooves” into the wood, intensifying layers of smoke, jammy fruit and spice.

  • Bottled at elevated Committee strength for maximum punch and unfiltered authenticity.

  • Perfect for peat lovers seeking an Ardbeg that balances island intensity with unconventional fruity sweetness.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Plumes of smouldering driftwood and charcoal mingle with sweet raspberry jam, smoked cinnamon sticks and a touch of salted liquorice. Palate: Thick waves of peat embers roll into flavours of blackcurrant compôte, clove-spiked toffee and peppered bacon, all wrapped in a wine-soaked oak richness. Finish: Long, warming and ashy, leaving echoes of barbecue smoke, dark berries and a final, spicy oak pulse.
