The outcome is ester heaven, and these fruity flavour compounds have then been dreamily matured in 100% heavily-charred, ex-Bourbon casks. Captured without chill filtration at 48.3% ABV, that fruity shift in the spirit’s profile shines through into a haze of smoky brilliance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis full renovation on Ardbeg’s usual distilling is a tiny limited release – but it's so moreish that we’re already praying for a future second edition.The Club partnered with Ardbeg as the exclusive retailer of Smokiverse in Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot yet a Member? \u003ca title=\"join free today\" href=\"#\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJoin free today\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e and build your own epic whisky collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Club x Ardbeg Day 2025\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs part of our partnership with Ardbeg, we’re proud to present an awesome lineup of Smokiverse-centric events in cities across Australia – some are on the day itself, some are spread across the weekend, but whatever you pick, you can guarantee you’re going to have an intergalactically smoky good time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.thewhiskyclub.com.au\/media\/wysiwyg\/HowlinWolf.jpg\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.thewhiskyclub.com.au\/media\/wysiwyg\/HowlinWolf.jpg\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHOWLIN WOLF – WOLLONGONG\u003cbr\u003eMAY 30\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMembers, head to the ‘Gong to enter the Smokiverse with Howlin Wolf!
