Product Information

Smoketrails is the name for a new collection of single malts from Ardbeg which will be available exclusively from travel retail shops and the Ardbeg Distillery Visitor Centre. The Smoketrails series by Ardbeg is a testament to the distillery's commitment to pushing the boundaries of flavor and exploring the influence of casks from around the world on the signature smoky character of their whiskies. Each edition offers travelers a unique opportunity to delve into the diverse world of whisky maturation, making it an adventure for the senses and a journey through taste. Ardbeg's dedication to crafting exclusive expressions like the Smoketrails series extends to global travelers with the launch of Ardbeg Smoketrails Côte Rôtie Edition. The use of Côte Rôtie wine casks from the Rhône region introduces a new level of complexity to the distillery's renowned smoky character. The combination of these special casks with classic bourbon barrels ensures that this limited edition whisky will be a sought-after treasure for those who appreciate fine spirits. This is approachable, balanced, fairly flavourful with a couple of interesting minor chords that titillate the palate (I nosed this again and again and I couldn’t shake the image of roasted peanuts and peanut butter from my head).

The Ardbeg Distillery has been in Islay since 1815 and tells of almost two centuries of turbulent whiskey history. Ardbeg was founded by John McDougall and bought 20 years later by Glasgow merchant Thomas Buchanan. Under new ownership it was very prosperous and by 1877 employed nearly a third of the islanders. Despite its ups and downs over time, the distillery lives on to this day and the stories of whiskey from days gone by resonate in every sip, even with Ardbeg Smoketrails! Details: Distillery/Brand Located on the Scottish island of Islay, Ardbeg Distillery has launched its first exclusive whiskey range: Ardbeg Smoketrails. chief distiller dr. Bill Lumsden made the series in American oak casks and Spanish sherry casks from near Sanlúcar de Barrameda. The Ardbeg Smoketrails has an intense character and 46%. Its taste is both smooth and smoky at the same time: it ranges from salty sea spray to nutty aromas and chocolate - every sip leaves you wanting more! Sample this extraordinary mix at airports around the world or make the pilgrimage straight to where it all began.

Each edition — to be released in batches every year — will be a marriage of Ardbeg matured in American oak casks and Ardbeg matured in secondary casks sourced from around the world. The first release, Ardbeg Smoketrails Manzanilla Edition, marries whisky matured in American oak casks with whisky matured in Manzanilla Sherry casks from Sanlúcar de Barrameda on Spain’s Atlantic coast. NoseWhat sets the Ardbeg Smoketrails Côte Rôtie Edition apart is the intriguing marriage of classic Ardbeg ex-bourbon casks with Ardbeg matured in the highly sought-after Côte Rôtie wine casks from the Rhône region. This union results in a full-bodied, punchy spirit that promises an adventure for the senses. Grilled artichokes and peppers make a striking appearance, offering a tantalizing prelude to the whisky's profile. The journey continues as warm notes of camphor gently fade into cooling menthol, adding depth and complexity. Saying the sky is the limit to the imagination of Moët Hennessy’s marketers is an understatement. They are, after all, the first Scotch to be matured in space. Ardbeg recently announced the launch of the Ardbeg Smoketrails collection of single malts available exclusively at travel retail shops and the Ardbeg Distillery Visitor Center.
