Tasting Notes
Nose
Power, pungent, almost brutal in its intensity, with waves of tar, smoke, sea salt and an almost ‘barnyard’ aroma in the background. There is some restrained fruitiness, reminiscent of flowering blackcurrants, and very pungent burst of peppermint
Palate
An explosive, peppery mouthfeel leads into a most curious juxtaposition of flavors - sweet chocolate, cooling peppermint, pungent peat smoke, bitter almonds, and then a hugely long, lingering burst of spices like aniseed and clove
Finish
The enormous, heavy smoke is always present and even as the aftertaste starts to build, the aromatic, heathery smoke never fades, it remains right to the very end
About
Hypernova is the latest limited edition in the Supernova series and the peatiest Ardbeg ever made! A malty magnitude never experienced, Hypernova radiates flavor in every direction - a peaty explosion equivalent to the stellar burst of a Supernova.
