Ardbeg - Dark Cove

This was matured in ex-Bourbon casks with a heart matured in dark sherry casks.  The style has been inspired by the history of illicit distilling on the Island of Islay. Many islanders were involved in this activity, including Allan and Alexander the uncles of John McDougall founder of Ardbeg distillery. 

This was the public release, launched for Ardbeg Day/Night at the 2016 Feis Ile. A cask strength advance release was also bottled for the Ardbeg Committee.
