ARDBEG ANAMORPHIC
Ardbeg...but not as we know it
We've turned Ardbeg upside down and inside out
Inspired by a whisky that appears to morph and shift between 4 worlds of flavour, Ardbeg Anamorphic is an enigmatic new whisky - available exclusively to our Committee Members - created using an experimental cask charring technique.
1 \ First, we remove the cask heads and score them very deeply, in order to expose more surface area of the wood.
2 \ Then, we heavily toast them in a very intense, and particularly precise infra-red process. The cask ends are incredibly thick, so they can withstand this concentrated treatment.
3 \ Next, we expose the casks to flames, aggressively charring the inside of barrels before filling them with glorious Ardbeg new make spirit and trusting them to take care of it whilst it matures…
4 \ We’ve turned Ardbeg upside down and inside out! Tempering those familiar briny overtones, ramping up hidden chocolaty sweetness and magnifying sensations of mocha, this is Ardbeg, but not as we know it.
SWEET, SMOKY, HERBAL and SPICY
4 DIMENSIONS OF FLAVOUR
Our unique "high mocha" cask treatment process leads to a multidimensional dram that morphs between four elements...
All seamlessly merging in a mesmerising taste experience. As enigmas wrapped up in conundrums go, this takes Ardbeg to a whole new level.
Why not join Jackie, Colin and Yogi below at the ‘Distillery’ as they reveal the finer details on everything from toasting to taste, and how this multi-dimensional dram morphed into existence.
