Der kommer en "Limited Edition" Supernova den 31. Maj 2010.
ABV'en er på 60.1%.

First released in 2009 to universal acclaim, Supernova reached new heights when it was named Scotch Whisky of the Year in Jim Murray's Whisky Bible 2010. But you don't have to wait a millennium to catch another taste of heaven... Supernova is back by popular demand, with a new limited release due to explode onto the scene on 31 May 2010. It has the same phenomenol peatiness as the 2009 edition, but this time around the taste is deeper and earthier and its strength has rocketed to 60.1%*.

Tasting Notes
Colour - Deep gold

Aroma
Big and powerful with peaty, earthy and deep herbal notes.

With the first sniff, encounter deep earthy peat oils and crushed black pepper embedded in the darkest chocolate. Swirl the glass and dip your nose into herbal infusions of juniper, elderflower and agave. Tarry ropes and creosote-soaked elm follow with flowering currants, olives and hot chilli peppers.

Swirl water into the glass, and voyage into the unknown with smoky coal tar, an open box of rolling tobacco, peat moss and roasted malt. A barbeque of smoky charcoal rises above the peat moss, softened by camomile, cedar and heather bloom. A blast of brine, white pepper and smoky asparagus escapes into the atmosphere with a spritely display of gooseberries and greengages.

Taste
Ardbeg challenges the palate with a smoke and salt explosion - hot, sizzling and gristy sensations effervesce and explode on the tongue with a powerful peaty punch. Black and white crushed pepper pop with chilli and chocolate. Chewy sweet rolling tobacco, linseed oil and newly tanned leather roll backwards on a wave of brininess and burst of juicy lime marmalade. Cigar smoke builds up to a crescendo before drying out to bring dark roast earthy coffee, toasted almonds and liquorice root.

Finish
Long, deep and powerful, refusing to fade away "“ remaining warm and drying with tarry peat, cocoa and chilli.

Serge:
And also Ardbeg ‘Supernova SN2010' (60.1%, OB, 2010) This sequel will be available on May 31. Colour: white wine. Nose: punchy and rather spirity at first nosing, peaty of course but not quite extreme "“ so far. Very big notes of plum spirit (or other stone fruit eau-de-vie), lime juice, icing sugar, cut grass"¦ It's very austerely grassy in fact, with also something unusually mineral (aspirin tablets). Antiseptic, tincture of iodine. Quite some soot, graphite and linseed oil too. Whiffs of zesty savagnin wine (made ‘under veil' like they do in Jura). With water: gets a little smoother and rounder. Fresh almonds, oysters and leather. Oh, and ashes. No ashtray, though"¦ Also hints of eucalyptus and pine resin.

Mouth (neat): very strong, extremely limony (acidic), grassy, tarry and liquoricy. Some salt as well and a little almond oil and black pepper. Very, very zesty and concentrated at the same time. With water: it became rather smoother and fruitier. Lemon jelly, lemon marmalade, touches of grapefruit and pineapple and a faint prickliness (peppered lemon juice). Finish: long, with returning ash and tar and much less fruits now. Liquorice wood. Very dry and very clean aftertaste (bitter chocolate (80+%), coffee bean, ash, pepper). Comments: I think it's maybe a tad fruitier (lemon), grassier and rounder "“ but it's no round whisky at all - than earlier Supernovas but otherwise it's very similar, that is to say very, very good. No need to split hairs and come up with a different score if you ask me. SGP:369 "“ 90 points.

Tak for det Peter

Ja det er billigt, rart at se at DK for en gangs skyld ikke er ensbetydende med 100% prisforhøjelse

Jeg kunne rigtigt godt like SN2009, så har lige bestilt en flaske af denne, der ifølge en flok Ardbeg freaks jeg kender skulle være bedre!
