Description
Created by Master Blender Gillian Macdonald for Ardbeg Day 2026, this limited-edition release brings together Islay’s rugged peat and Mediterranean sweetness. It marries spirit matured in ex-bourbon barrels with spirit matured in Marsala dolce wine casks from Sicily, offering a profile where traditional heavy peat meets rich, fruity sweetness. Collectors looking to buy whisky in South Africa will appreciate its non-chill filtered nature and natural deep gold colour, hallmarks of serious premium whisky in South Africa. Ardbeg Day editions are keenly followed by collectors, making this a fine addition for enthusiasts. For the best experience, enjoy it neat or with a small splash of water.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Bonfire smoke and sea spray meet orange marmalade, dried apricot and honey, with toasted almond, dark chocolate and a herbal edge.
- Palate: Oily peat smoke leads into caramel, fig and raisin, with chocolate-covered orange, roasted nuts, coffee, clove and black pepper.
- Finish: Sweet spice, cocoa and dried fruit fade slowly into ashy peat, brine and bitter orange peel.
