Ardbeg 8 Yrs Ed 2021 " For Discussion" Committee Rel.[50.8%]

This is Ardbeg Committee-only bottling in 2021 from Ardbeg Distillery, came out of an experiment by master distiller Dr Bill Lumsden to answer a question ‘what if, in an alternative universe, Ardbeg Ten Years Old was not the distillery’s “flagship” aged expression?’

It has been proposed that there is: 1) An unmistakable smoky Ardbeg intensity. 2) A strong whiff of charcoal and creosote. 3) Curious hints of something vegetal, like fennel and celery mixed with woodsmoke.
