Review - Ardbeg Dark Cove

Ardbeg Day, which takes place during the Feis Isle Islay Festival each year, will take a darker turn in 2016 after being renamed Ardbeg Night. This year's limited edition release is named Ardbeg Dark Cove and is inspired by the murky past of smugglers and illegal distillers that inhabited the area around the distillery. A cask strength version (bottled at 55% ABV) has already been released to members of the Ardbeg Committee, which sold out within hours.  Both are said to be the same liquid but simply at different strengths.  The whisky has been predominantly matured in ex-sherry casks with the addition of some ex-bourbon cask stock.
