2014 Release Ardbeg 'Auriverdes' Single Malt

Ardbeg ‘Auriverdes’ 2014 Release – Islay Single Malt Scotch Whisky, Scotland

Appearance: Pale gold with a greenish hue, echoing the “gold and green” theme of its name. Bright and lively in the glass.

Nose: Classic Ardbeg smoke meets creamy sweetness. Notes of vanilla pod, espresso crema, lime zest, and toasted coconut drift over a foundation of peat smoke and sea spray. Hints of herbal malt and cocoa nibs add depth.

Palate: Full-bodied yet balanced. Waves of smoky espresso, dark chocolate, and charred oak intertwine with vanilla cream, citrus oils, and gentle spice. The texture is oily and mouth-coating, with a subtle herbal lift and coastal salinity.

Finish: Long, smoky, and warming. Lingering notes of roasted coffee, vanilla bean, and dry peat ash fade into a whisper of citrus and oak spice.

A celebratory Ardbeg released for the 2014 World Cup, symbolising “gold” (whisky) and “green” (Islay). Combines the distillery’s trademark peat power with a playful, creamy elegance — ideal for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a limited-edition Ardbeg with both character and charm.
