Ardbeg Makes it a Triple!
Scottish Islay Malt Awarded Best Scotch Whisky of Year
 Ardbeg
Supernova has been named Best
Scotch Whisky of the Year, the third
year running an Ardbeg single malt has
been awarded such a prestigious
accolade.
This follows the success of the
distillery’s flagship expression Ardbeg
Ten Years Old, and Ardbeg Uigeadail,
which were named World Whisky of the
Year in 2008 and 2009, respectively.
The award for Ardbeg Supernova comes
with the publication of the seventh
annual edition of whisky authority and
writer Jim Murray’s, “Whisky Bible”. A
favourite with whisky aficionados,
barmen and connoisseurs around the world
Jim Murray has nosed and tasted nearly
1,000 new whiskies over the past year.
The Jim Murray “Whisky Bible 2010”
contains more than 3,850 whisky tasting
notes in all. Ardbeg Supernova received
97 points out of 100. Murray described
the dram as being “moody, atmospheric”
and a “major beast”.
Bottled at 58.9 per cent, Ardbeg
Supernova is a single malt Scotch whisky
with a staggering peating level well in
excess of 100 parts per million, making
it the peatiest Ardbeg ever.
Hamish Torrie, Ardbeg Brand Director
says: “With Ardbeg Supernova you have
nothing less than a “galactic explosion”
of flavours, with salt and pepper,
roasted coffee, chilli and chocolate all
contributing. Jim’s accolade of
identifying Supernova as the best Scotch
Whisky delights all of us who work on
Ardbeg.
“It is a tribute to the consistency,
dedication and skill of the team at the
Distillery, and our Whisky Creation
Team, led by Dr Bill Lumsden and Rachel
Barrie.”
He continued: “Ardbeg Supernova was a
limited edition in 2009. It probably
means we’ll have to consider releasing
some more in 2010!”
