Ardbeg Fermutation 13 Year Old - Committee Edition Single Malt Whisky

Unleash the wild side of Islay science with Ardbeg Fermutation - Committee Release 2022. Distilled in 2007 and bottled in 2022 at 13 years old (49.4 % ABV), Fermutation was born from an accident that became an experiment: a boiler breakdown left six washbacks unattended, resulting in an unprecedented three-week fermentation-the longest in Ardbeg’s history. The extra-long ferment created layers of quirky, funky fruit that were then matured in a mix of first-fill and refill ex-bourbon casks. Released exclusively to the Ardbeg Committee, Fermutation marries the distillery’s trademark peat smoke with vibrant, estery fruit and herbal complexity that could only come from this once-in-a-lifetime mishap. Why We Think You’ll Love It: Created by chance: a three-week fermentation turned an equipment failure into a flavour revolution. 13 years in first-fill and refill bourbon barrels balance dense smoke with bright, estery fruit. Bottled for the Ardbeg Committee only, at a robust 49.4
