NV Ardbeg Blaaack Committee 20th Anniversary Limited Edition (46%)

This 2020 limited edition bottling commemorates the 20th anniversary of the Ardbeg Committee (with a worldwide membership of over 120,000 Islay whisky enthusiasts) and according to its makers the name 'Blaaack' is "inspired by this wandering flock of Ardbeg fans". As for the style and cask type which differentiates each annual release…“for the first time in Ardbeg’s history, we rounded up Pinot Noir casks from the country that lies the furthest distance from Islay – New Zealand, that other remote island nation where sheep have been known to outnumber the locals by 7:1. Hence in 2020, Ardbeg will celebrate the theme of ‘Black Sheep’, because we like to think of ourselves as a little bit different too.”
