Ardbeg Eureka!, 52.2%

An experimental combination of PX sherry- matured Ardbeg and spirit made from roasted malt matured in bourbon barrels. Mallo Cup, Ricanelas, peat smoke, creosote, burnt sugar, and Sun-Maid chocolate-covered raisins on the nose. This succeeds in shifting Ardbeg’s resilient core profile to show flavors of snickerdoodle, milk chocolate, peppercorn, roasted spice, and smoked meat, lightening the mood with red apple, roasted nuts, smoke, cinnamon toffee, and a thick chocolaty finish. Sip it neat. (Release date: 2/25)
