From Ardbeg, a distillery with more ups and downs than a pogoing punk, comes Ardcore. Created with roasted black malt – an unconventional choice, and a first for Ardbeg – this spirit is all about what happens up front, centerstage. Incinerated to hair-raising levels, the malt is what defines its distinctive profile. Described by Dr. Bill Lumsden as tasting ‘like biting on a spiky ball’, this devilishly delicious dram is one for the ages. Notes of charcoal and sweet smoke make for an in-your-face nose, while potent notes of aniseed and dark chocolate stamp this bottle out as one fit only for the most Ardcore of fans.
Non chill-filtered at 46% ABV.

Tasting Notes
AROMA: Spicy and savory, Ardcore grips the senses, with waves of marmite, burnt toast, chicory charcoal and infused coffee grounds making for a mosh pit in the glass. Like a safety pin through the septum, a classic Ardbeg herbal top note is present, while swirling, smoky bonfire and molasses loiter backstage.
TASTE: A jaw dropping spicy and fiery mouthfeel leads to an explosion of rich, smoky flavors – cocoa powder, dark chocolate, peanut brittle toffee, smoked lime and a suggestion of soot and bonfire embers all pogo in unison on the palate. Amped up aniseed and malty biscuit elbow their way to the fore, “punk-turing” taste buds.
FINISH: In an altogether sweeter finish, long, lingering notes of treacle toffee, soot and smoke make for an anarchic, but delicious, aftertaste.
