Description

Ardbeg Auriverdes, the 2014 Committee Release celebrating Brazil’s FIFA World Cup glory, showcases heavily peated Islay mastery through specially toasted French oak casks—vibrant tropical citrus pirouettes with profound peat smoke symphony and caramelised oak finesse. Zesty nose pirouettes fresh tangerine segments silk, smoked bacon rashers glow, pineapple chunks-vanilla pod warmth, beach tarry rope intrigue, distant menthol whisper. Meaty, full-bodied palate unfurls double cream coffee depth, 70% dark chocolate authority, ripe peach nectar harmony, antiseptic peat bandage nuance, toasted marshmallow richness, gentle cinnamon prickle. Protracted spicy liquorice finish endures smouldering beach fire embers persistence, tropical fruit smoke dreaminess, oak resin glow—transcendent Glencairn fireside ritual neat, single ice orb unveiling peaty layers, or peaty Rusty Nail sovereignty; Ardbeg’s Brazilian carnival redefines Islay sophistication.
