Ardbeg Fermutation Committee Release 13 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700ml

Ardbeg had announced a new Committee-only release, the Ardbeg Fermutation. This limited edition 13-year-old single malt Scotch highlights the impact of the longest fermentation in Ardbeg’s history.

 Ardbeg Fermutation is the result of a happy accident from 2007, which is when a boiler broke down. It led to an unplanned experiment, as six washbacks with tens of thousands of litres of fermented wort sat waiting to be distilled. Upon instruction from Bill Lumsden, Ardbeg’s Director of Distilling and Whisky Creation, the distillery team opened the washback lids. In the end it took three weeks before the boiler was repaired and distilling could commence.

Dr Bill Lumsden commented on this experiment in a prepared statement. “I’ve always wanted to experiment with longer fermentations, so I think an unintentional boiler breakdown was the best thing that could have happened. For context, most Ardbeg is only fermented for 72 hours, making three weeks unchartered territory for us.”

“The outcome is a dram that tastes like pure science fiction. Peat and smoke meld beautifully with fresh, floral flavours, while sharp, more malty notes give Ardbeg Fermutation a uniquely zingy profile.”

“Blind luck is sometimes just part of the way we do things here at Ardbeg,” added Colin Gordon, Ardbeg’s Distillery Manager. “But the creation of Fermutation wasn’t simply good fortune. Quick thinking, ingenuity and a little assistance from tiny beings in the atmosphere helped us get here. At 13 years old, this is of course an aged Ardbeg – something I’m sure our fans will be delighted to get their hands on.” Only one bottle available.
