Ardbeg, the renowned Scottish distillery known for its bold and smoky Scotch whiskies, has exciting news for enthusiasts and globetrotters alike. The highly anticipated second edition of the Ardbeg Traveller's Exclusive Smoketrails series, titled "Ardbeg Smoketrails Côte Rôtie Edition," is set to captivate the palates of whisky aficionados around the world. Each edition — to be released in batches every year — will be a marriage of Ardbeg matured in American oak casks and Ardbeg matured in secondary casks sourced from around the world. The first release, Ardbeg Smoketrails Manzanilla Edition, marries whisky matured in American oak casks with whisky matured in Manzanilla Sherry casks from Sanlúcar de Barrameda on Spain’s Atlantic coast. Nose Saying the sky is the limit to the imagination of Moët Hennessy’s marketers is an understatement. They are, after all, the first Scotch to be matured in space. This is approachable, balanced, fairly flavourful with a couple of interesting minor chords that titillate the palate (I nosed this again and again and I couldn’t shake the image of roasted peanuts and peanut butter from my head). Score: 7/10 To meet the cancellation deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right to cancel before the cancellation period has expired.

Nose: Deep, pungent flavours take to the air, a curious combination of tar, saddle soap, pine resin and Brazil nuts. A very aromatic whisky, with lovely herbal notes and a hint of moist peat bog, while storm-churned sea spray soars overhead. With water, some chocolatey notes appear, along with a touch of engine oil.
