Ardbeg Goes All Hypernova

Islay distillery Ardbeg has released Ardbeg Hypernova – which they are claiming is their “smokiest” single malt whisky ever, touting a phenol level of more than 170ppm (parts per million).

Ardbeg Hypernova was bottled at 51% alcohol by volume [102 proof] and is said to contain notes of almond, chocolate, coffee, peppermint and, of course, plenty of peat smoke.

Only a limited number of bottles of Ardbeg Hypernova are being made available beginning in October 2022 for $210 per bottle.
