Ardbeg Hypernova 2022 Committee Release 750ML
Ardbeg Hypernova is the 2022 Ardbeg Day Committee Release — a hyper-peated Islay single malt and the smokiest Ardbeg on record, with phenol levels in excess of 170 PPM (parts per million) presenting a dimension beyond all that came before it in the Ardbeg range: tar, creosote, and soot at full, mind-bendingly powerful force.
Ardbeg Distillery has been producing intensely peated Islay single malt since 1815. The Hypernova 2022 Committee Release pushes even beyond Ardbeg’s own extraordinary standards of peat intensity — at 170+ PPM, it surpasses Ardbeg’s standard expressions by more than three times the standard intensity. Like its namesake — the most powerful explosion in the universe, a magnetar-driven supernova — Hypernova propels the palate at full force. Available exclusively to Ardbeg Committee members on Ardbeg Day 2022 before general release. Browse the full Scotch whisky collection at Wooden Cork.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does 170+ PPM compare to other heavily peated whiskies?
Standard Ardbeg 10 year is approximately 55 PPM — one of the most intensely peated whiskies in the standard Scotch range. At 170+ PPM, Hypernova is more than three times the intensity of the already heavily peated standard Ardbeg. For context, Octomore’s standard series runs at 100-130 PPM. Hypernova’s designation as the smokiest Ardbeg on record is grounded in genuinely exceptional phenol levels. Limited allocation. Order online.
