Producer’s tasting notes
Aroma: Clouds of pungent aniseed, menthol and eucalyptus are underscored with sweet notes of treacle toffee. Hints of peppermint, a frisson of fennel, and a mysterious camphorous scent in the far distance… With water, more toffee notes emerge with a burst of dry, earthy peat.
Taste: A tingly, peppery mouthfeel leads to a veritable explosion of intense, earthy, smoky notes – a nebular of bonfires, soot, charred oak, birch tar and menthol.
Finish: Unbelievably long, with layers of treacle toffee, aniseed, oak tannin, clove and just a hint of bittersweet, tangy Seville orange on the aftertaste..

Bottling Notes
Still in pursuit of the phenomenal, this 2019 Supernova (Committee Release) limited-edition challenges sensory perceptions of what a whisky can be, as it transports the taste buds to peaty parts unknown.
Dr Bill Lumsden, Director of Distilling at Ardbeg, said:
“Supernova is the peatiest expression we produce at Ardbeg. The way the flavours build and build and then explode in a burst of pungent peat and smoke is truly astonishing.”
Mickey Heads, Ardbeg Distillery Manager, said:
“The incredible peat explosion in Supernova probably explains why these bottlings have been so popular with the Ardbeg Committee over the years. Supernova 2019 is the fifth edition in the series, and I’m sure it will be snatched up in no time at all.”
The expression was only available in Australia on-line at the Ardbeg website, to committee members and sold out virtually immediately, but we’ve come across some stock for any of you who missed out.
