Ardbeg Alligator Untamed Release (N/Acl, 51.20%)

Distilled in the rugged coastal landscapes of Islay, Scotland, the Ardbeg Alligator Untamed Release is a legendary expression defined by its intense, charred intensity. This whisky derives its singular character from heavy charring of the oak casks, which imparts a bold, smoky profile reminiscent of hickory and smoldering embers. On the palate, expect a powerful collision of sweet vanilla and dark chocolate, beautifully balanced by the distillery’s signature deep peat smoke and a lingering, spicy finish.
