About

Ardbeg Blasda is a unique single malt whisky hailing from the renowned Ardbeg distillery located on Islay, Scotland. This lightly peated expression features an ABV of 40.00%, making it a distinctive addition to the Ardbeg lineup. The name 'Blasda' translates to sweet and delicious in Gaelic, reflecting its approachable character. On the palate, Ardbeg Blasda reveals a complex medley of flavors including fresh and dried fruits, vanilla, and a hint of citrus. The whisky's subtle smokiness, with a phenol level of just 8ppm, allows for delicate notes of leafy greens and malty sweetness to shine through. The influence of sherry casks adds layers of dried spices and a briny, seaweed character, providing a refreshing finish. This limited edition release is perfect for those seeking a softer, yet flavorful Islay experience.
