Description
Ardbeg Smoketrails Manzanilla Edition 1L 46% is a distinctive Islay single malt Scotch whisky released as part of the Ardbeg Smoketrails series, created exclusively for travel retail. This collection explores Ardbeg’s iconic smoky character through the influence of unique cask maturations from around the world.
In this edition, classic Ardbeg whisky matured in ex-bourbon casks is combined with whisky finished in Manzanilla sherry casks from the coastal region of SanlĂşcar de Barrameda in Spain. Manzanilla sherry is known for its dry, fresh, and slightly saline character, which adds a fascinating dimension to the whisky.
The combination of Ardbeg’s powerful peat smoke and the distinctive influence of Manzanilla casks creates a complex flavour profile. The whisky balances smoky richness with notes of salted nuts, citrus, gentle sweetness, and maritime freshness.
Bottled at 46% ABV and non-chill filtered, Ardbeg Smoketrails Manzanilla Edition offers a full-bodied and layered whisky that highlights both Ardbeg’s classic Islay character and the subtle elegance of Manzanilla sherry influence.
