Description
Ardbeg Smoketrails Cote Rotie 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 series explores Ardbeg’s signature peat smoke through the influence of unique cask maturations sourced from around the world.
In this edition, classic Ardbeg whisky matured in ex-bourbon casks is combined with whisky finished in Côte-Rôtie red wine casks from the famous Rhône Valley in France. This unusual cask influence introduces additional layers of fruit and spice that complement the powerful smoky character of Ardbeg.
The result is a fascinating balance between Ardbeg’s intense peat smoke and the rich, wine-driven notes of dark fruit, pepper, and subtle sweetness. The Côte-Rôtie casks bring a refined complexity to the whisky while maintaining the unmistakable maritime character of Islay.
Bottled at 46% ABV and non-chill filtered, Ardbeg Smoketrails Côte-Rôtie Edition delivers a full-bodied whisky with both smoky depth and elegant wine cask influence.
