Introducing Blasda – Lightly peated Ardbeg
Ardbeg is famed for packing a peaty punch, but there is more to The Ultimate Islay Malt than meets the eye (or indeed nose or tastebud). To prove it, Ardbeg has undertaken an experiment: to tame its usual mighty peating level and allow Ardbeg’s lighter qualities to shine through. The happy result is Blasda, which in Gaelic means “sweet and delicious”.

Ardbeg, the peatiest of Islay malts, is about to tantalise its fans with a limited release of a lightly peated expression called Blasda, recommending that Ardbeggians conduct their own blasachd (tasting) to compare the highly peated Ardbeg Ten Years Old with Blasda. At only 8ppm (parts per million phenol) in the bottle, Blasda unmasks the delicious sweetness of sherbet vanilla, chocolate limes and the floral fragrance that is inherent in all expressions of Ardbeg.

Ardbeg Blasda
Sweet, fragrant and refreshing,
Blasda takes you to a calm day on the shores of Islay

Colour
Light gold

Nose
Deliciously sweet and refreshing. On first nosing, the aroma is reminiscent of baked banoffie pie and roast chestnuts. On further nosing, cloves, pine cones and fresh mint rise from the glass, softened by creamy vanilla custard. A tingle of lemon and lime marmalade cuts through the vanilla with spiced pears followed by a breath of menthol and sea salt. Deep ripe fruits fuse with almond and vanilla.
With water, the sweet effervescence of sherbet vanilla and chocolate limes burst from the liquid. A bouquet of scented violet, narcissus and chrysanthemum bring a sparkling ethereal fragrance. Cured ham with a dusting of white pepper and cinnamon is served with gentle smoked fish and green peppers, with a sprig of leafy mint on top.

Taste
Refreshing, silky and creamy to the palate, the initial sip is sweet with a mixture of sugared almonds, marzipan and hints of dried fruits. Gentle peat oils well up on the palate, remaining soft, clean and dry with a dusting of powdery parma violets. Tangy lemon juice and orange rind freshen the palate with a gentle fizz. Later tingling spices and creamy cappuccino bring a gentle warmth.

Finish
The finish is medium in length and tingly with a refreshing balance of chrysanthemum tea, clean lemon zest, creamy vanilla and hints of cinnamon spiced apple.
