Ardbeg Grooves Islay Whisky (70cl; 46%)

Ardbeg Grooves was released in celebration of Ardbeg Day 2018, and as ever, the Islay-based distillers have created a most intriguing expression. Part of the whisky that makes up Grooves was matured in red wine casks that were very well-charred, resulting in heavy grooves on the surface of the wood. A mellow though flavoursome dram.

To quote Ash Williams; "Groovy".
