Cue the smoke. Inspired by the golden age of 1960s Italian cinema, Ardbeg Dolce blends Mediterranean charm with Ardbeg's bold, rugged spirit. Matured in Sicilian Marsala wine casks and classic bourbon barrels, it balances sweet aromas of apricot, marmalade and dark chocolate with notes of roasted nuts and smoky applewood.

Don't the folks at Ardbeg know just how to make us go mio dio! In the new Ardbeg Dolce, Ardbeg is taking us back to the Golden Age of 1960's Italian Cinema, expressed through the use of Sicilian Marsala wine casks along with the more standard fare of ex-Bourbon barrels. 

The new expression is bottled at 47.8% ABV.

In this - as Ardbeg calls it - instant classic, we're told the following:

A joy from the first sip to the long and lingering last.

In Ardbeg Dolce, olive groves meet misty coves, Sicilian film reels meet Islay lobster creels, and sweet Marsala heat meets smoky Ardbeg peat - a sensory masterpiece.

Fragrant aromas of apricot, plump raisins and orange marmalade steal the scene. Notes of zesty lemon rind and roasted nuts dance alongside dried herbs, smouldering applewood, and chewy peat oils.

Bravo! Bravo!

Kanpai!
