Scotland - Islay Single Malt Whisky

1 persons recommended this dram. Recommend it.

The release is exclusively available to Ardbeg Committee members. Ardbeg Alligator is the latest in a long line of experimental whiskies released by Ardbeg and overseen by Dr Bill Lumsden, head of distilling and whisky creation, at Ardbeg's parent company, Glenmorangie.

The Ardbeg Alligator comes from the term "Alligator Charring" used in both bourbon and Scotch whisky industries to describe the method of charring the inside of the oak casks before they are filled with spirit. The burnt wood staves are said to look like alligator's scales.

The Ardbeg Alligator is matured in Level 4 casks, the most intense type of charring possible.

The whisky therefore combines smoky, charcoal, barbecue flavors with the hallmark peat and herbal characteristics of the Ardbeg house style. It has been bottled at 51.2% ABV.
