With phenol levels in excess of 170 ppm, Ardbeg Hypernova has a nose of creosote with soot and tar, the company reports. On the palate, a peppery mouthfeel leads into sweet chocolate, peppermint, peat smoke, bitter almonds and burst of spices like aniseed and clove. The finish has heavy smoke, before returning to earthy notes of roasted coffee and smoked heather.
“Hypernova turns on the afterburners and hauls our spirit into smoky new depths,” says Colin Gordon, Ardbeg’s Distillery Manager. “Highly experimental, this whisky is peaty and intense, with a taste that’s totally surreal. This spirit is not just a slice of Ardbeg history, it’s a once in a lifetime event . . . not to be missed!”
