Ardbeg embarks on a new adventure as they launch the first ever series of whiskies exclusive to Travel Retail: Ardbeg Smoketrails.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The collection will offer a chance for whisky-loving travellers to take their palate on a journey, exploring the influence of different casks from around the world on the signature Ardbeg style.<\/p>\n

The Islay Distillery\u2019s first release in the new series, Ardbeg Smoketrails Manzanilla Edition<\/a>, marries malt matured in classic Ardbeg American oak casks with Manzanilla sherry casks from Sanl\u00facar de Barrameda on Spain\u2019s Atlantic coast. The result is a salty, maritime character combined with a powerful blast of classic Ardbeg smoke.<\/p>\n

As a Travel Retail exclusive, smoky malt fans will only find bottles of Ardbeg Smoketrails in international travel hubs, i.e., selected airports around the globe and the ultimate tourist destination \u2013 Ardbeg Distillery.<\/p>\n
