Ardbeg Smokiverse 48.3% – A Single Malt from Another World

Get ready for lift-off. Ardbeg Smokiverse 48.3% is not just another Islay whisky – it’s a cosmic experiment in taste, intensity and innovation. Created for Ardbeg Day 2025 and to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Ardbeg Committee, this limited edition sends your senses on a journey far beyond the familiar.

With the pioneering method of high gravity mashing, Ardbeg has pushed the boundaries of how concentrated and powerful a whisky can be. More sugar in the mashing means more intensity in the distillate – and the result is a single malt with extraordinary depth, richness and complexity. This is Ardbeg when the distillery turns up all the dials.

Smokiverse balances Ardbeg’s iconic peat smoke with a surprisingly rich sweetness and spicy heat. A dram that both celebrates the distillery’s DNA and shows how adventurous and innovative Ardbeg continues to be. Perfect for the seasoned Ardbeg fan – and for those who want to experience Islay at its most explosive.

Tasting notes – galactic balance and raw Islay power

Nose: An explosive opening of roasted barley, aromatic peat smoke and sweet notes of tropical fruits, spices and cloves.

Palate: Intense and rich with layer upon layer of ripe fruit, dark sugar and spicy warmth wrapped in Ardbeg’s signature smoke.

Finish: Long, warm and powerful with distinct peat, ash and glowing campfire notes – like a final echo from a distant galaxy.

Ardbeg – the heart of smoky Islay
