1st October 2019 |
Ardbeg to
launch Supernova 2019 Committee Release
exclusively to Ardbeg Committee members
tomorrow.
 First
released in 2010 and most recently in
2015, fans of this peatiest of Ardbeg
expressions will be pleased to hear that
it will be making another return this
year for Ardbeg Committee members only.
Tomorrow, 2nd October Ardbeg will
release the Ardbeg Supernova 2019
Committee Release and this will not be
followed up by a Ardbeg Supernova 2019
lower strength general public release
later in 2019.
For the whisky fans amongst you that may
have been living on the moon (sorry I
count resist) and missed the previous
Ardbeg Supernova releases, the Supernova
Series is a collection of limited
edition Ardbeg Committee favourites,
first released in 2009 and most recently
in 2015 to celebrate the groundbreaking
Ardbeg space experiment. This experiment
saw Ardbeg become the first whisky brand
in space, where a vial of Ardbeg spirit
orbited the earth for three years aboard
the International Space Station.
Still in pursuit of the phenomenal, this
year’s Supernova limited edition is said
to challenge sensory perceptions of what
a whisky can be, as it transports the
taste buds to peaty parts unknown.
Dr Bill Lumsden, Director of Distilling,
Whisky Creation & Whisky Stocks 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."
Ardbeg Supernova 2019 Committee Release
has been bottled at 53.8% ABV, it has a
price tag of £140 and is exclusively
available to Ardbeg Committee members.
It will be available from tomorrow 2nd
October and UK Committee Members will
receive an email with information on how
to buy, online at Ardbeg.com
You will also find the current Ardbeg core
whisky range available from specialist
online whisky retailers such as
The Whisky Exchange,
The Whisky Shop and
Master of Malt

Ardbeg Supernova 2019 Committee Release Review
|
Producer's Tasting Notes:
Nose:
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.
