The whisky was matured in bourbon casks and then transferred into a single Oloroso sherry cask. That combination contributes both the intense Ardbeg smoke and richer spicy, dried-fruit notes from the sherry wood.
What does Ardbeg Rollercoaster taste like?
Its profile combines heavy peat smoke with citrus, dark chocolate, spice, and a long warming finish. The 60.4% ABV means the first sip can be forceful, so tasting it slowly is more informative than drinking it like a standard 40% spirit.
