Committee members get priority access to limited releases, annual Committee Releases, and updates from the distillery. The Committee Release is typically a cask strength, non-chill filtered expression exclusive to Committee members and allocated retail.

Is Ardcore Punktured more heavily peated than standard Ardbeg?

Ardbegs standard production is already heavily peated at approximately 55 PPM. The Ardcore/Punktured series uses the same production but with cask selection or treatment focused on maximising the phenolic, raw, and assertive character of the Ardbeg new make.
