Ardbeg Supernova 2010

The 2010 edition of Ardbeg's famously heavily peated Supernova series, with peat levels pushed higher than the standard range and bottled at a robust cask strength for maximum smoky intensity.

Pungent peat, chilli pepper and toffee meet smoky wet wool, sage and milk chocolate on the nose; the palate is massive and explosive with vanilla, chilli and cilantro, finishing long with coconut, peat and salt.
