Ardbeg Unleashes Smokiverse
Islay-based Ardbeg Distillery has released Smokiverse – their 2025 Fèis Ìle special whisky bottling for “Ardbeg Day” – an annual celebration held on the last Saturday of Islay’s Festival of Music and Malt, Fèis Ìle – which will take place this year from May 23-31, 2025.
The Ardbeg 2025 limited edition single malt Smokiverse, emanates from a so-called ‘high-gravity’ mash, the result of mash experimentation by Ardbeg reducing the amount of water used in the packed mash tun and thereby reportedly intensifying the flavor-producing qualities of the whisky.
Ardbeg Smokiverse was matured in ex-bourbon casks, bottled at 48.3% alcohol by volume [96.6 proof] and is said to impart notes of peat, sugar and tropical fruit.
Ardbeg Smokiverse is being made available exclusively from the distillery’s official website from May 28-30, 2025, before a limited release elsewhere beginning on May 31, 2025, for $125 per bottle.
