Ardbeg Smokiverse Whisky

This limited-edition Islay single malt is a bold new expression crafted to celebrate a quarter-century of whisky innovation. Released as part of the iconic annual Ardbeg Day festivities, it showcases the distillery’s commitment to pushing flavour boundaries while remaining deeply rooted in its smoky island heritage.

Using an advanced high gravity mashing technique, the distillery has amplified its signature intensity by reducing water in the mash and dramatically increasing the grain content. The result is a whisky that brings a new richness and depth to the category, balancing the expected peaty power with unexpected layers of tropical fruit, dark sugar, and a creamy, full-bodied mouthfeel.

• Ardbeg Smokiverse Whisky opens with waves of thick smoke, balanced by ripe pineapple and hints of papaya.
• The palate is rich and textured, with muscovado sugar, toasted sourdough, and a surge of earthy spice.
• Finishes with lingering peat smoke, tropical fruit undertones, and a warming, oily depth.

Ideal pairing with grilled meats like lamb chops or barbecued beef short ribs. Its subtle fruit notes also enhance spiced pork dishes or charred aubergine.
