Break-even Bottle No. 33 | Ardbeg ARRRRRRRDBEG! | The Cottage

Our break-even bottles are exquisite and rare, outside of what you’ll typically see on menus. One of those drinks that you savor and immediately want to share with your best friend. We feel the same way and want to share these with you, so we’re selling these bottles in 1 oz. pours for cost. (Which is, legally speaking, the lowest we can go.) Tuesdays only, we open the bottle at 4p and sell 1 oz pours until it’s gone.

Reservations (https://resy.com/cities/bol/the-cottage-bothell) highly recommended but not required.

Break-even No 33 is Ardbeg ARRRRRRRDBEG! Now, say it like you mean it! Like all good single malt scotches, this one comes with a good story. From Ardberg…

After 13 years at the helm, our legendary Distillery Manager, Mickey Heads has set sail for horizons new. The captain of the good ship Ardbeg has retired. Mickey’s leaving has been hard to fathom for all of the crew, but to commemorate the skipper and his service, we’ve created an extra-special bottle of grog – a treasure fit for the saltiest of seadogs. So to Mickey we say, ‘yo-ho-ho and a bottle of Arrrrrrrdbeg!’ as we raise a toast and wish him good luck and Godspeed!

Wholly matured in ex-rye casks, gunpowder, smoked banana and pear drift into vanilla and rye on the nose. A spicy mouthfeel hoists up and ignites a blunderbuss of fruity flavours.

An armada of aniseed is tailed by smoked toffee and a distant hint of sourdough biscuits. The long finish lingers, with gentle smoke listing on the palate.
