Product Description

Possibly the smokiest dram in the world (this one at least), Hypernova possesses a malty magnitude never before experienced. This is a brutally smoky dram that radiates flavour in every direction. Undoubtedly Ardbeg's smokiest spirit, HN22 is a cataclysmic event for the distillery. Its big, its intense, and it's pulling palates into a whole new dimension... Explore notes of pungent peat smoke, aniseed and toasted lavender, while bitter almonds and dark chocolate fuse with curious hints of plasticine and burnt rubber. Descend into a finish that collapses in on itself, before returning to earthy notes of roasted coffee and smoky heather.

IWSC judges · Silver · 2024
Classic Islay example of the style with delicate orchard fruit and gentle peat. Layered peat smoke, coastal breeze, and stewed stone fruits. Classically and lovingly made.

Medicinal character with Tequila-like aromas with brioche overtones, this malt has a leafy smoke to the nose. Peat dominated palate with sweet raisin characteristics. A sublime finish.
World Whiskies Awards judges · Silver · 2025
This whisky presents a complex profile, beginning with enticing smoke, grilled pineapple, and sea spray on the nose. … The finish is medium, showcasing, sesame oil, and a savory balance.

The nose brings notes of an old matchbox together with hints of hazelnuts, golden plums and fudge overlaid with smoke and peat. On the palate, there’s a baked apple note followed by salted caramel, walnuts, and some candied sweetness.
