Ardbeg Blasda Limited Release (2008) 70cl

Blasda represents a rare chance to sample a lightly-peated dram from the powerhouse Ardbeg distillery. The malt is peated at 8ppm as opposed to the standard 55ppm.

We all know Ardbeg packs a peaty punch, but if you remove some of that peat, can Ardbeg still retain its perfect balance? The mind boggling answer is "yes"!

A significant departure from their traditional style, the peat has been subdued for this limited edition, dialled back from Ardbeg's lairy standard of 55 phenolic parts per million to a delicate and breezy 8ppm. Although it was a short lived experiment, only produced between 2008 and 2010, Blasda continues to prove popular on the auction circuit thanks to its "sweet and delicious" flavour.
