Ardbeg’s peatiest whisky to date, Hypernova pushes smoke levels into uncharted territory. A Committee Release that sold out almost instantly, it’s a dram made for those who think there’s no such thing as “too much peat.”
On the nose, expect an explosion of smoke, tar, and earthy peat, cut with notes of aniseed, menthol, and roasted coffee. The palate is intense and fiery, delivering charcoal, smoked meat, chilli spice, and bitter dark chocolate. The finish is huge, long, and unapologetically smoky — a true peat bomb.
This is a cult bottling that showcases Ardbeg at its most extreme. Not for the faint-hearted, but unforgettable for peat fanatics.
