Like nearly everyone else on the planet, the Ardbeg Distillery is getting excited for the upcoming World Cup and they have gone so far as to release a special limited edition Auriverdes single malt whisky in honor of the worldwide sporting event. Auriverdes [translating to “golden” and “green” – which just so happens to be the colors of Brazil, the host of the 2014 World Cup] was created in American oak casks with specially toasted cask lids producing a double whammy coffee/mocha and vanilla effect in addition to the multiple flavor notes of licorice, maple, smoked ham and white pepper.
The 49.9% alcohol content [100 proof] Auriverdes whisky is available from the
Ardbeg Distillery site.
