Ardbeg Gets All Kelpie On Us
Ardbeg has released a limited-edition whisky called “Kelpie” that has been matured in virgin oak casks from the Black Sea before being sent to spend time in the more traditional ex-bourbon barrels.
Perhaps not surprisingly, Ardbeg Kelpie is said to contain notes of salt and seaweed and has been bottled at 46% alcohol by volume [92 proof].
Although a 51.7% alcohol by volume [103.4 proof] version of Ardbeg Kelpie was released this month, the 46% Ardbeg Kelpie – priced at $125 per bottle – will make its debut in June 2017.
