Ardbeg Fermutation Revealed
Update: Ardbeg Fermutation launching February 2022!
Labels submitted to the TTB have revealed Ardbeg Fermutation, a limited edition 13 year old peated single malt that was born from the distillery’s longest fermentation ever.
The back label provides the full story: “The year was 2007. The Ardbeg Distillery was about to face one of its greatest challenges. A broken boiler threatened the very existence of six washbacks full of precious liquid. Nothing could stop them fermenting past the point of no return! The Distillery folk threw off the washback lids hoping for a miracle, and a miracle they received! An invasion was taking place. Millions of tiny beings were descending from the skies and landing in the washbacks… The longest ‘Fermutation’ in Ardbeg’s history had begun, transforming the liquid into the sharpest, zingiest and wildest Ardbeg ever! Unbelievable but true!”
Ardbeg Fermutation will be bottled NFC (Non Chill-Filtered) at 49.4% ABV and is expected to land in stores in late 2021/early 2022.
