Official tasting notes:
Anticipate juicy red apples and plump cherries on the nose, with signature smoke and fresh coffee granules. The palate explodes with nut toffee brittle, raisin fudge and dark fruits, running to a long and chewy finish with sweet treacle toffee and burning embers.

This release has Ardbeg BACK IN FORM from many previous releases that have been more miss than hit, and what a delight it is.

The release instantly sold out when it went live on the Ardbeg Committee Australia website and we only have a case to sell.
The Distillery comments:
In 2023, we invited some of our most loyal Committee Members to the West Maltings at the Distillery to participate in a top-secret experiment named Operation Smokescreen. Unbeknownst to them, they were influencing the next Ardbeg Committee Exclusive – and a very special one, at that”
Out of the 100 esteemed Committee Members from 15 countries who were invited to join in the birth of this release, 3 of them were from Australia, and here are their brief, tasting thoughts:
John Felice – Aus Committee member.
“At an ABV of 52, this is right in the pocket and an absolutely amazing committee release, personally my favourite for some time”
Richard Calabaro – Committee member.
“On the first sip of the Eureka, I got hazelnut, burnt butter, caramel toffee. I loved it….”
Geoff Brown – Committee member.
“….. I thought sweet, exotic fruits on a bbq. A touch of smoke and caramelised sugar. There’s a stickiness that hangs on & lingers”.
