Description
Ardbeg Grooves has been inspired by “the alternative lifestyle and unorthodox spirit of a previous generation”, and uses a proportion of the whisky that has been matured in re-toasted red-wine casks.
These ex-red wine casks were heavily charred to produce grooves in the surface of the wood, producing more intense flavours in the whisky.
This technique produced a whisky which has “intense aromas of smoked cinnamon and paprika, pine resin and briny sea spray”, and a “powerfully salty mouthfeel” which “drifts into sweet vibes of treacle toffee, vanilla popcorn, salted fruits with soot and tar”.
