For the first time, Ardbeg Spectacular is matured in rare port wine casks. Years in ex-bourbon and port wine casks have imparted a mesmerizing array of flavors. Fragrant lavender, vetiver, and incense candles tumble into rich almond nuttiness. Deeper notes such as damp peat and woodsmoke introduce a daring double act of creosote and tar, before leather and minty chocolate leap across to sweet pear crumble and salted caramel fudge.
