From a Distillery with more ups and downs that a pogoing punk comes Ardcore. Created with roasted black malt, roasted to the extreme, this spirit is all about what happens up front – centre stage. The malt is what defines its distinctive profile. Described as tasting like ‘biting on a spiky ball’, Ardcore is a dram that wears its heart on its sleeve… its black heart!

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.

Ardbeg Ardcore is intense, and has all the powerful peatiness you expect of Ardbeg with notes of charcoal and sweet smoke plus a long, lingering finish. The addition of unconventional roasted black malt lends a sharpness to the flavour for a whisky that’s full of substance and attitude.
