When Ardbeg goes interstellar, it doesn’t hold back. Supernova 2015 is one of the peatiest whiskies ever released by the Islay icon, a cosmic explosion of smoke, spice, and sheer intensity. As the final release in the Supernova series, it’s more than a whisky. It’s a phenomenon. A farewell to one of Ardbeg’s most daring experiments.

Ardbeg Supernova 2015 70cl
Brand: Ardbeg | Category: Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky | ABV: 54.3% | Origin: Islay, Scotland | Vol: 700ml

Tasting Profile
Nose: Unrelenting and thrilling, clouds of charcoal smoke, antiseptic, roasted coffee beans, and crushed star anise.
Palate: Intense and layered. Sweet malt wrapped in tarry peat, black pepper, menthol, and smoked nuts. Mid-palate bursts into herbal spice, salted licorice, and medicinal earthiness.
Finish: Explosive, long, and almost galactic, peat embers, eucalyptus, and dark cocoa trail off into orbit.

Production Details
Bottled at a powerful 54.3% ABV and non-chill filtered, Supernova 2015 features malt peated to well over 100ppm, far beyond Ardbeg’s core range. It’s the final frontier of their super-peated series, matured in a blend of ex-bourbon and Oloroso sherry casks for structure and depth.
