Ardbeg Anamorphic is the 2023 annual release from Ardbeg Distillery — an Islay single malt produced by removing the cask heads to expose more wood surface during toasting, tempering the briny overtones, ramping up hidden chocolaty sweetness, and magnifying sensations of mocha in a multidimensional dram that morphs between four key elements: Sweet, Smoky, Herbal, and Spicy.
Removing the cask heads during toasting exposes additional wood surface area, increasing the depth of caramelised wood character and vanilla/mocha compounds. Browse all Ardbeg at Wooden Cork.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does removing cask heads during toasting do to a whisky?
Removing cask heads during toasting exposes additional wood surface area to heat, creating a deeper layer of caramelised sugars and compounds that the spirit extracts during maturation, increasing vanilla, mocha, and chocolaty sweetness alongside the characteristic Ardbeg peat smoke.
