The story

The 2017 Swell de Spirits Blended Malt , dominated by the unique character of Ardbeg, is an exclusive edition that showcases the artisanal expertise of Islay distilleries. Bottled by Swell de Spirits , an independent bottler renowned for its bold selections, this cask strength whisky (61.4%) offers a rare intensity and a raw expression of Islay's power. An ideal expression for lovers of peaty and full-bodied whiskies.

The origin

Sourced primarily from stocks at Ardbeg, one of Islay's most iconic distilleries, this blended malt captures the island's maritime and peaty essence. The addition of malts from other carefully selected distilleries enriches the whisky's aromatic balance and complexity, while respecting Ardbeg's characteristic smoky and intensely briny profile.

Tasting

• Nose: An explosion of peat, with aromas of wood smoke, dried seaweed, and tar, accompanied by saline and lemony notes. In the background, hints of vanilla and caramel provide a gentle roundness.
• Palate: Powerful and full-bodied, with an oily texture. Flavors of smoke, ash, and black pepper dominate, quickly followed by more subtle notes of honey, toasted oak, and citrus zest. The 61.4% alcohol is perfectly integrated, providing an impressive structure.
• Finish: Long and lingering, marked by an intense return of peat, warm spices, and a slight woody bitterness. A harmonious and memorable end to the tasting.
