Read More Product Story
Ardbeg is located on the south coast of Islay, Scotland, world-renowned for its intense and heavily peated whiskies. This 8 Years Old Committee Release was born under the guidance of Master Distiller Dr. Bill Lumsden, who sought to spark a bolder, more experimental flavor architecture within a shorter maturation period.
Compared to the classic 10-year-old expression, this 8-year-old work retains more vitality and herbal character from the spirit. Its 50.8% ABV provides solid body support, allowing charcoal smoke, tar, and subtle medicinal herbs to manifest with greater impact. Committee Releases are always highly sought after by collectors, representing not just craftsmanship, but a commitment to Ardbeg's innovative spirit. Whether enjoyed neat or with a few drops of water to open up the layers, this whisky delivers the quintessential Islay peat shock.
