Ardbeg – Grooves (Committee Release)

From the famed Ardbeg distillery on Islay, Grooves is a 2018 limited edition matured in heavily charred wine casks, imparting a uniquely textured character. These intensely grooved casks yield a whisky brimming with aromatic smoked spices and a hint of distant bonfire embers. The palate unfolds with sweet vanilla popcorn and smoky soot, gracefully transitioning to notes of mellow apples, fresh flowers, and subtly smoked pear. Grooves offers a complex and captivating taste of Islay’s signature peat smoke, balanced by delicate fruit and sweetness.
