Blasda is a limited release from Ardbeg distillery on Islay, Scotland. It has a very low phenol level of only 8 parts per million, making it lightly peated compared to Ardbeg's usual core range. On the nose, it has sweet aromas of baked banana, toffee, lemon, lime, and gentle peat oils. On the palate, it is refreshing and creamy with flavors of sugared almonds, marzipan, dried fruits, and gentle peat that remains soft and clean. The finish is medium in length with flavors of chrysanthemum tea, lemon zest, creamy vanilla, and cinnamon spiced apple.

6. 10 years old Dark Blasda Light

7. “ BEG” COMPARISON! How would Ardbeg taste without its peaty punch? The peatiest single malt at 56ppm phenol in the malted barley and 24ppm in the bottle 46% abv, non chill-filtered “ Smoked fish and tarry rope” A lightly peated Ardbeg at 25ppm phenol in the malted barley and 8ppm in the bottle 40% abv, chill-filtered “ Sweet, fragrant and refreshing”

8. 8ppm then we think the best time to enjoy Blasda is……. If Ardbeg can be enjoyed at 8pm
